[New-bugs-announce] [issue1762] Inheriting from ABC slows Decimal down.

[Jeffrey Yasskin]

New submission from Jeffrey Yasskin:

Adding numbers.Real to Decimal's base classes almost doubles the time
its its test suite takes to run. A profile revealed that a large
fraction of that slowdown was in __instancecheck__, but even after
optimizing that, it's still about 25% slower. It looks like the rest of
the slowdown is still in other parts of the isinstance() check. It would
be nice if inheriting from ABCs didn't slow your class down.
