Connection pooling does not appear to work since v2.6.0. Instead, a new connection is opened to the GitHub server for each request, causing a performance regression. I believe I have traced this down to the introduction of #3060. I will open a PR with a suggested fix.
Reproduction
import os, logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
from github import Github, Auth
auth = Auth.Token(os.environ['GITHUB_TOKEN'])
g = Github(auth=auth)
print(list(g.get_user().get_repos()))
Output (v2.5.0)
$ GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx python test.py
