May I ask what is the baseline of the comparison? How about using "improved": * Racket CS improved the performance of exact-rational arithmetic. This eliminates the possible confusion that Racket BC is the comparison target and the interpretation that arithmetic is fast in Racket CS. If this item is about samth's PR #3748, then its subject is large integer arithmetic. I think it is worth narrowing the scope to let the users know what to expect, e.g. * Racket CS improved the performance of large-integer arithmetic. https://github.com/racket/racket/pull/3748 (I guess the computation of rational numbers with large denominators or numerators also benefits from it but I am not sure.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Developers" group.
