That doesn't really surprise me. Actually, I think that the Blitz term means that the lib is a good compromise between speed at use and speed at execution. It also relies heavily on the capability of the compiler to optimise the templates. I haven't seen assembly code in there so I guess it can't win against arch-optimised libraries.
Anyway, Blitz was just an example to illustrate the possibility that there might be useful things out there.

Ciao!
