Change https://golang.org/cl/250417 mentions this issue: math/big: treble the speed of divWVW and optimize the div of nats by replacing the division with multiplicative inverse

This issue doesn't need to be a proposal. It's just an optimization - go for it.
That said, it looks like your CL is adding API to math/bits (GetInvert and DivByInv). That change would require a proposal.
Is there any way to do your change without adding API?

Yes there is. I added the API because I am not sure if I should completely replace the original division method. If we want to think of it as an optimization, we can use a more sophisticated method without adding an API. I will make the corresponding changes in my CL.

@randall77 Im sry that I don't know how to remove the proposal tag. I replaced the original division function, deleted the modification to the bits package and changed getInvert to internal interface so that there's no new API in bits package.

Note that this is also the same as issue #9246 math/big: avoid DIVQ I'm not sure if the two issues should be merged or one closed.

I believe they are the same issue.
(Other than the claim that it can be made faster even for a single division, which is manifestly not true for the implementation as it currently stands, as it uses a division to compute the inverse.)

@randall77 Yes, I think so. Should I close this issue?

No, probably easier just put a "Fixes #9246" line in your CL description (so both will be closed when this CL lands).

CL looks done and Trybots are happy. Merge?

It's already merged, it just didn't have the Fixes #XXXXX line that makes the bot autoclose the issue.
