[issue2576] httplib read() very slow due to lack of socket buffer

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

I am also unable to reproduce the reported problem using the
pastebin.ca/973578 code.  The time to download 400mb from localhost
remains the same regardless of buffering=False (default) or True.

The problem still exists but it is better described in issue1542407 and
should only effect the performance of reading the HTTP headers (a lot if
you're writing an application doing small/medium RPC requests over HTTP).
