Content 
Six years later, I have accepted Amaury's challenge and created an extension module that uses the double-conversion library to generate repr's for floats: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/frepr

My rudimentary performance testing gives something like 8X speedup compared to the standard float_repr().

Scrutiny and suggestions welcome...
