There is a clumsy workaround for Darwin that chunks reads into 8kb
blocks to avoid huge memory allocations. First, this fix should not only
be required but on FreeBSD2.6 too (see
http://bugs.python.org/issue3531). Second, decent python versions (I
checked 2.6) already chunk in the SSL case anyway, so there is no need to do
that again. Remove that level of indirection.
http://evanjones.ca/python-memory.html claims that this problem has been
fixed since python 2.5, so we might consider removing the workaround
completely even for the non-SSL case.
Increase the chunk size on Mac from 8kb to 64kb. Even Macs should be
able to take that amount of memory usage nowadays.
