FYI. Over on the Julia forum I found a post which cited these benchmarks.

Looking through some of the benchmark code and it seems some of it can go a lot faster. A lot of it is just Ruby code ported to Crystal, but it still seems to be optimized for Ruby’s performance profile rather than Crystal’s.
