Note that for numerical work _decimal from Python3.3 is vastly faster than cdecimal. I've added two major speedups (credit for one of them goes to Antoine), so these are the numbers for the pi benchmark: Python3.3 (_decimal): time: 0.15s Python3.3 (decimal.py): time: 17.22s ===================================== Python2.7 (cdecimal): time: 0.29s Python2.7 (decimal.py): time: 17.74s ===================================== For database work and such the numbers should be about the same.
