Yes, actually I have to look at the _decimal version again, it contains some optimizations that may only work for _decimal: https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c#l1943 I did optimize it for speed at the time, I hope general functions won't be slower.

Oh, well. :)

Yes, actually I have to look at the _decimal version again, it contains
some optimizations that may only work for _decimal:

  https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c#l1943

I *did* optimize it for speed at the time, I hope general functions won't be
slower.
