For "Improve the speed of multiplication", I think it should say "numeric multiplication" rather than simply "multiplication", and I think it's worth also linking to commits ca481d3c9ab and c4e44224cf6 which were part of the same work.
I think it's also worth mentioning 9428c001f67, which sped up numeric division. That can be included in the same item, as in the attached patch, unless you think it's worth listing it as a separate item. Regards, Dean
