Per http://developer.github.com/v3/#pagination, the max items that can possibly be requested is 100 as opposed to the default of 30. From what I can tell, the default is used in all requests and there's no way to override it without modifying the source. Hence, about 1/3 of the available data is being returned on lots of requests

Is there a reason not to go ahead and add a default per_page=100 to all API requests? Best case, it results in faster access to data, and worst case, it has no effect. For my particular uses, I'm making lots of requests, and a speedup of ~3.3x would be a big help.

Thoughts?
