SF #1022910: Conserve memory with list.pop() The list resizing scheme only downsized when more than 16 elements were removed in a single step: del a[100:120]. As a result, the list would never shrink when popping elements off one at a time. This patch makes it shrink whenever more than half of the space is unused. Also, at Tim's suggestion, renamed _new_size to new_allocated. This makes the code easier to understand.
