We shouldn't force users to change their program from multi threaded to single threaded.

But they can get the benefit when input is too large. 65536 seems "too low" to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
