what is the diffrence between 'NUMERIC' and 'DECIMAL'?

Reading the documentation indicates that they are synonyms for each other.

But i wonder, what is the performance loss when doing sorts,filters, arithmetic operations

Normally the main killer in performance is to do with volume of data being processed(*) so I'd say that on a large dataset any performance hit is negligable. So, I'd suggest that you are careful about the size of the data. This table from the books on-line will help:
+-----------+---------------+
| Precision | Storage bytes |
+-----------+---------------+
| 1 - 9     | 5             |
| 10-19     | 9             |
| 20-28     | 13            |
| 29-38     | 17            | 
+-----------+---------------+


[EDIT] Missed a bit: By comparison a BIGINT is 8 bytes in length but is constrained to a scale of 0 (nothing after the decimal point) and has a maximum value of (2^63)-1 while a NUMERIC/DECIMAL has a potentially much greater range [/EDIT]


* not necessarlily the same as volume of data returned
