Ah, I had misread the rest of the thread - if telco in its current form isn't useful as a decimal microbenchmark, then yes, updating it to improve its stability is more important than preserving it as is. Its original use case was to optimise the decimal implementation itself by figuring out where the hotspots were and optimising those, rather than as a general benchmark for other changes to the interpreter implementation.
