Line 102: ==Performance== A binary encoding is inherently less efficient for conversions to or from decimal-encoded data, such as strings ([[ASCII]], [[Unicode]], etc.) and [[Binary-coded decimal\|BCD]]. A binary encoding is therefore best chosen only when the data are binary rather than decimal. IBM has published some unverified performance data,<ref>http://speleotrove.com/decimal/decperf.html</ref> however as both packages are available atas open-source these figures could not be verified independently. ~~[http://speleotrove.com/decimal/decperf.html], however as both packages are available as open-source these figures could not be verified independently.~~ ==See also==
