If you need raw computational speed you shouldn't be dealing with erlang / elixir anyway. Rust and go would be a proper comparison here

Anything that's good at handling a lot of I/O or a lot of concurrent processes tends to become CPU bound as more load is given to it.

It's not only about raw computational speed. Being good at concurrency means that you can handle more work, unless you consume too much CPU.
