Hi people! Two news. A big speed up, and now we reached some stable state. Mark Dickinson found out that a lot of time was lost internally in decimal.py when dealing with the Decimal mantissas. He changed the way that mantissa was stored, from a tuple of ints, to a plain string (each character

Hi people! After some months, Decimal is now in the trunk again. It's fully updated to the latest Cowlishaw specification, and complying with the latest test cases (from a few days ago, which even take in consideration some feedback from ours). I want to thank so much to Mark Dickinson, who made
