And for those of you that live in North America, here is an opportunity
that I found, whilst researching JIT a couple of weeks back:
Work on the Just In Time (JIT) Compiler Team to improve MATLAB performance.

Natick, MA
The JIT (Just In Time compiler) team is a small group within The
MathWorks charged with improving the performance of MATLAB to near
FORTRAN / C levels. Because MATLAB is a typeless, interactive language,
this effort involves technical challenges rarely seen in other
languages. We are looking for another team member who is experienced,
creative, can work effectively independently as well as in a group, and
is willing to expand the state of the art while delivering value to tens
of thousands of customers.
For the reasons that Paul describes below, "technical challenge" is an
understatement. I prefer the Japanese phrase - chotto muri desu-ka >
"it's slightly impossible"

If that looks easy, consider that x may be real or complex or
a sparse matrix or a galois field or a indefinite precision
number, ... And consider that the size of x may be less than
n. And consider that x may be a function (matlab syntax does
not distinguish between functions and array indexing), which
returns a different value type for each i. You don't know until
you call the function what the type of x is.
