Could you try with this: # Read in anohter chunk of the file # NOTE: It's possible that an XML tag will be greater than buffsize # This will break in that situation - newb = self.fp.read(self.bufpos) + newb = self.fp.read(self.buffsize) Also, could you provide the output of strace -emmap2,sbrk,brk python <script> I could be completely wrong, but both in your case and in wrobell's case, there's a lot of _PyBytes_Resize going on, and given how PyObject_Realloc is implemented, this could lead to heavy heap fragmentation. ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10900> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
