If there is a large chunk (e.g. several MBs), dropping the GIL during the memcpy of that chunk may be beneficial. This kind of optimization may be applicable in other similar cases (such as extending a bytearray or a BytesIO object). ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
