[issue20962] Rather modest chunk size in gzip.GzipFile

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali added the comment:

William, thanks for the benchmarks.

Unfortunately this type of benchmark depends on the hardware (disk, SSD, emmoey bandwitdh, etc).

So I'd suggest, instead of using an hardcoded value, to simply reuse io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE.
That way, if some day we decide to change it, all user code wil benefit from the change.
