I don't understand the question. The output of repr() does not show
this internals...

I tested different versions of Decimal with this telco.py.

With Python from the trunk (r58550), which is the last decimal.py
version previous to this change: 1241.8

After changed it to keep _int as string: 869.3 (30% faster!)

But still there're a lot of room for improvements. I just commited
other patch from Mark, where he reordered __new__, to minimize
isinstance() checks for the most used types.}

After new reordering patch: 672.9 (22% faster!)

:)
