Looking at "What's New" section for cdecimal [1], I see this claim: "Performance gains range from 12x for database applications to 80x for numerically intensive applications..." But there's no link on the benchmark code. [1] http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/9ceac471bd8c/Doc/whatsnew/3.3.rst#l599 |

It would be nice to have access to the benchmarks, yes, but I hope our users have enough trust in Python to believe this "claim" as it is. |

Well, there's also curiosity. For example to find out what is "pi" and "telco", and having to go through that massive issue 7652 to find out is a bit much. |

> But there's no link on the benchmark code. I don't know if external links are appropriate in whatsnew, but this is it: http://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/quickstart.html |

Instead of what's new, I think, linking the benchmarks in the docs could be helpful so that library users can find it they want to. I think, we have similar performance benchmark links at other places too. |

Leaving this open since a "New in version 3.3" speed improvement note in the docs would be useful. |

The correct place for the note is in the "optimizations" section of whatsnew. |
