If I remember, the JIT optimizer decides to kick in when the same code is detected by execution engine to run few times (5).

Historically, during the time period that Mathworks used the phrase JIT, then a limited set of operations were supported, and the optimization did not kick in the first pass.
However now that they use the term "execution engine", supposedly all execution goes through it, and supposedly it starts immediately, with the analysis at the time the code is parsed. Supposedly.
That said, in a fair number of tests, I have seen the second and third iterations take much of time.

There is some randomness to it. Your computer does other things you know. Who knows what else it may have been doing while that code was running? When I run it I get different numbers every time, though the the first one is always the longest and they are much shorter than yours.
