Hello,
Neither will make much of a performance difference (though i don't know exactly what you mean - decimal is a form of numeric).
Most time in programs is not spent doing arithmetic.

Dick,
I guess by 'real' she means 'real numbers/floating point numbers'.
Minakshi,
Performance wise-
Packed decimal > Binary > Floating point/ Real
(This is still debatable though.  ) |
