bpo-36103: change default buffer size of shutil.copyfileobj() (GH-12115)
It is changed from 16KiB to 64KiB. The previous default value
is used since 1990.
coreutils chose 128 KiB as minimum buffer size for block device I/O.
But shutil.copyfileobj() can be used for non block devices.
So I choose more conservative value.
As my quick benchmark, performance difference between 64KiB and
128 KiB is up to ~5%. On the other hand, performance difference
between 32 KiB and 64 KiB can be more than 10% when file is fully
buffered.
This is why 64 KiB is rational value.
