Hello there.

I recently created this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue4336

3 days ago.

I‘ve had no response so far.

Possible reasons: no automatic assignee; core developers focused on getting 2.5.3, 2.6.1, and 3.0.0 out in the next few weeks; some people (me, at least) use Friday new issues list for issue review.

This patch solved a serious performance problem with simple xmlrpc queries for us.

Any interest or thoughts? I am only slightly uncomfortable with changing the buffersize. I notice that socket.fileobject.read() Disallows small recv() calls for performance reasons and forces buffer to at least 8k. But readline() does no such things and becomes very inefficient for the unbuffered case. Maybe it would be better just to fix socket.fileobject to have _rbufsize be always at lest 8k

You might want to add these thoughts to the issue too.
