Which version are you talking about?

I have an old, slow box running Windows Server 2003 and python 3.3.2.

I have just booted it up now, called up a command prompt, typed 'python' to 
start the interpreter, and typed 'import decimal'. The interpreter prompt 
re-appeared in the blink of an eye.

Are you talking about something else?
