No, sorry. The problem is not the history file, is the massive slow down it causes. And if you have to utilize a process monitoring tool to find out that the history file is the cause, its not a matter of responsibility .
You can only be responsible for something you know of.

Still I wonder why this isn't an already widely known problem, or is this a new feature? (I am an seasoned developer but very new to python)
