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.

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.

I don't know if external links are appropriate in whatsnew, but this
is it:

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.

Issue #14394: Use elaborate phrases that boil down to "one to two orders

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.
