Assuming that the path under test latency is small to begin with, increasing buffering from reasonable to large to absurd generally provides a tiny and rapidly diminishing throughput increase.
Part of the reason bufferbloat exists is because of norms in equipment testing focusing on throughput (esp for single/few tcp streams) and drops while ignoring other effects.
