Hi everyone,
I've made some good progress on this project and I would love for someone
to review it for me? I want to learn as much as I can to produce something
as good as possible.
if you are curious to see it in action first, there is a sandbox here:

GNU MPFR looks solid too, significantly faster because it uses base 2
storage, but may have difficulty converting to decimal. I'll fork a version
that uses mpfr instead of libmpdec and add it to the benchmark. I know
using basic + and - isn't much of a benchmark but it's a start.
I believe that ma
I wrote a basic benchmark and GMPi appears to be about twice as fast (+ and
- ops) but produces a different result. GMPi was also running out of memory
when attempting to apply multiply and divide operators. The benchmark only
uses + and - now.
I used bcmath for the reference value.
If there's a
Yes absolutely, I haven't written tests or documentation or a release plan
yet though. I started working on this less than a week ago so just looking
for feedback and validation from internals before I spend time wrapping it
up.

Looks promising! Could it be added to PECL maybe? That would make it easier
for people to test :D

Actually yes! You mentioned it to me 5 months ago in a thread on Reddit:

I'll take a close look at GMPi today and compare them objectively. :)

Hi everyone,
I've been working on adding arbitrary precision decimal support as an
alternative to *bcmath. *I have created an extension based on *mpdecimal*,
which is what Python 3's decimal module is also based on. I haven't
released or broadcast this project yet, because I wanted to discuss the
