Giampaolo Rodola' added the comment: Specifying a big blocksize doesn't mean the transfer will be faster. send/sendfile won't send more than a certain amount of bytes anyways. If I'm not mistaken I recall from previous benchmarks that after a certain point (131072 or something) increasing the blocksize results in equal or even worse performances.
Another thing I don't like is that by doing so you implicitly assume that the file is "fstat-eable". I don't know if there are cases where it's not, but the less assumptions we do the better. Note: I'm sure that for both send() and sendfile() blocksize>=65536 is faster than blocksize=8192 (the current default) so it probably makes sense to change that (I'll file a separate issue). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
