Do I have to use mbuffer? #335

Closed gusioo closed 6 years ago

gusioo commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I have a question about mbuffer in znapzend: could anyone tells me when I must use mbuffer and what determines the size of mbuffer? Also what are the benefits and disadvantages of using mbuffer?

Best regards.

Thanks for your comment, I hopefully answered the mbuffer question while documenting my woes ;)

How bad it will get if i don't use mbuffer? My replication seems to be very slow, i don't even think that some buffer can help so much... I guess i will try enabling it...
