I don't think so.. It happens on repeat function runs. I also updated to 
use benchmarktools.jl 
Even though, it takes so long (> 10 mins) on 0.5.0 I've only been patient 
enough for it to complete once...


using BenchmarkTools
function testf(x)
    r = squeeze(mean(x[:,:,1:80,:,:,56:800],(1,2,3,4,5)),(1,2,3,4,5));
end

x = rand(10,10,100,4,4,1000)   #Dummy array
@benchmark testf(x)

In 0.5.0 I get the following (with huge memory usage):

BenchmarkTools.Trial: 
  samples:          1
  evals/sample:     1
  time tolerance:   5.00%
  memory tolerance: 1.00%
  memory estimate:  23.36 gb
  allocs estimate:  1043200022
  minimum time:     177.94 s (1.34% GC)
  median time:      177.94 s (1.34% GC)
  mean time:        177.94 s (1.34% GC)
  maximum time:     177.94 s (1.34% GC)

In 0.4.7 I get:

BenchmarkTools.Trial: 
  samples:          11
  evals/sample:     1
  time tolerance:   5.00%
  memory tolerance: 1.00%
  memory estimate:  727.55 mb
  allocs estimate:  79
  minimum time:     425.82 ms (0.06% GC)
  median time:      485.95 ms (11.31% GC)
  mean time:        482.67 ms (10.37% GC)
  maximum time:     503.27 ms (11.22% GC)
