1. What are the additions to the class library that are not associated
with new language features, or "Foundation" classes. E.G. I have heard
a rumor that a "BigNum" class, or infinite precision arithmetic would be
supported.

2. Are there any (runtime) performance improvements promised? Any other
major changes to the runtime system?

Is there a webpage addressing these issues?

There are a few new BCL classes - I can't remember whether BigDecimal
(or its equivalent) is going to be in or not, but I believe it was
dropped.

There's better support for timezones and precise handling of DateTimes
though, which is certainly welcome.

It uses the same CLR as before so there aren't any performance
improvements on that front.

The BCL team blog is worth reading:
