I'd be happy to see decimal.py replaced by a C version giving
essentially the same functionality.  I think the current decimal would
certainly benefit from a speedup: it's probably `fast enough' for many
applications, but it suffers horribly at high precisions:  addition of
two n-digit decimals takes time quadratic in n, for example.
