Heh, cdecimal utterly demolishing the old pure Python decimal module on the telco benchmark means normalising against CPython 3.5 rather than 2.7 really isn't very readable :) I find viewing the graphs using the horizontal layout is much easier to read (the bars are a lot thicker and everything zooms in more).

That comment was based on the horizontal layout - the telco benchmark runs ~53x faster in Python 3 than it does in Python 2 (without switching to cdecimal), so you end up with all the other benchmarks being squashed into the leftmost couple of grid cells.

Cheers, Nick.
