However, let me repeat Artur's (and Henrique's) observation here that
you will see a bigger divergence between Julia and Native when you
replace 10^6 with 10^7 or 10^8; the Native implementation will just
scale up linearly, but not the JITted Julia version.
Yes, that's certainly noteworthy.

Unfair! ;-)
Of course.

Yes. Again, I suggest to tackle the SB.gfn package as a benchmark.
Would make an interesting test case.
