[cmaloney]

Memory usage now matches that of _io for large files.

• Issue: Reduce copies when reading files in pyio, match behavior of _io #129005

[cmaloney]

Optimization enabled by gh-139871 (Trying to keep that one issue referencing all the things which I use it for; planning to expand the What's New with a single "here's all the modules that got faster" list once optimize)

Is there a difference between b.resize(n) and del b[n:]?

[cmaloney]

.resize() could grow while the del b[n:] never will. There's some code which does a = bytearray(b'12'); del a[3:] (intentionally del a slice past the end) as part of its buffer management. Generally I prefer resize because there's a lot less code involved than the slice code (and the slice code eventually calls resize anyways)
