Julia in contrast to most languages can run very fast or very slow for roughly the same program because of type information and garbage collection.

I would be willing to bet there is a lot of fat to be trimmed if you can't get close to LuaJIT unless SIMD is involved. Have you tried profiling your Julia code to see where the problem is?
