Is your code still type-stable and the type are inferred correctly? There are some type-inference issues that came up when I transitioned a lot of things to v0.5. After I got rid of those, the performance on v0.5 ended up being a bit better (most likely due to -O3 optimization). I transitioned before the release clients, so the waters were murkier then, but I know that there are a few type-inference bugs being worked out that may be the cause.
