In http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/hashlib.html there is a contradiction: """ For better multithreading performance, the Python GIL is released for strings of more than 2047 bytes at object creation or on update. [...] Changed in version 3.1: The Python GIL is released to allow other threads to run while hash updates on data larger than 2048 bytes is taking place when using hash algorithms supplied by OpenSSL. """ So is it 2047 or 2048? :)
