The work around was introduced in order to bring TLS 1.3 support to all supported versions, but at the same time it may cause very large data chunks for high throughput scenarios. The underlying bug has been fixed in PHP 7.3.3 and PHP 7.2.15, so we can avoid this now uneeded work around on said version.

The work around was introduced in order to bring TLS 1.3 support to all
supported versions, but at the same time it may cause very large data
chunks for high throughput scenarios. The underlying bug has been fixed
in PHP 7.3.3 and PHP 7.2.15, so we can avoid this now uneeded work
around on said version.
Reproduction is not exactly trivial unfortunately. Prior to #186, older PHP version would simply consume 100% CPU usage when using an otherwise perfectly valid TLS 1.3 connection when the remote peer did not send any data (common for HTTPS). After applying #186 this bug has been avoided on all supported versions, including older PHP versions. However, at the same time it may cause very large data chunks for high throughput scenarios. In other words, when downloading large files over HTTPS, it would start emitting chunks of data that could be multiple megabytes large which has a significant performance hit. Now that the underlying bug in PHP has been fixed with PHP 7.3.3 and PHP 7.2.15, we do not need this work around from #186 anymore. As such, we now have proper TLS 1.3 support with reasonable data chunks on recent PHP versions and still have a work around for TLS 1.3 on older PHP versions.
Builds on top of #201 and #186
