So, there are exactly two measurements there: matrix multiplication and 
vector addition for dimension 100 (which is quite small and should favor 
vectorz). Here are the results on my machine:

Matrix multiplications are given at the neanderthal web site 
at http://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org/articles/benchmarks.html in much 
more details than that, so I won't repeat that here.

Vector addition according to criterium: 124ns vectorz vs 78ns neanderthal 
on my i7 4790k

Mind you that the project you pointed uses rather old library versions. I 
updated them to the latest versions. Also, the code does not run for both 
old and new versions properly (it complains about :clatrix) so I had to 
evaluate it manually in the repl.

I wonder why you complained that I didn't show more benchmark data about my 
claims when I had shown much more (and relevant) data than it is available 
for core.matrix, but I would use the opportunity to appeal to core.matrix 
community to improve that.
