Yeah, same value for io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE.

Could you please elaborate? A page size is 4096 bytes on my Linux. So your page double the number of calls to read(), right?

shutil.copyfileobj() uses a buffer of 16 KB by default.

See also the issue #21679 which adds a private copy of the stat().st_blksize attribute in a FileIO object.
