FWIW, running Wes' code with a fresh pull of Julia today shows some improvement in the pure-Julia benchmarks at least:

    Array operations took 79.55683398 ms
    inner took 23.88444026 ms

    BLAS took 48.182116560000004ms

Obviously its possible that this is just due to differences between our machines; just figured I'd throw it out there.
