What's preventing optimisations from being built for maths to be at least as fast as something like Numpy? Is it just the realtime nature of the BEAM makes it difficult?

If you really like you can choose to compile things using HiPE which in my tests can make mathematical stuff about 10X faster... it sounds pretty unsupported these days though. Maybe just put messages on a queue and process them in golang or rust if you must have the performance, no need to let the BEAM have to handle such things directly and always good to measure where your bottlenecks are first.
