Out of the various benchmark codes, the one where julia performs poorly compared to C++ is mandel(), which seems to suggest that we need better performance for our complex number implementation.

Are a couple of key optimizations that are yet to be implemented that will speed this up, or is it something more fundamental with our complex number implementation?
