Upon further investigation, the slowness appears to be related to this
bug report: http://bugs.python.org/issue508157
Applying the fix given in the bug report speeds up httplib immensely.
So now the question becomes, what is the best way to implement this?
Should I go ahead and subclass most of httplib, or is there an easier
way?
