buffers buffer. difficult to debate. edit: theyre being called queues and a lot of effort is being put here into just describing the merits and demerits of them which i assumed would be self evident to anyone who can conceptualize a buffer in any context, not just software. savings buffer, heat buffer, coal buffer, resource buffer, inductors, capacitance. they have fill and drain times, soften spikes, but require additional energy. A math model of throughpts and voltages would be more useful than all the metaphors of pipes and buckets in this thread.
