-l doesnt kill bufferd output, in contrary, it makes the output bufferd.

       -l     Make  stdout  line buffered.  Useful if you want to see the data
              while capturing it.  E.g.,
              ``tcpdump  -l  |  tee     dat''     or     ``tcpdump  -l       >
              dat  &  tail  -f  dat''.

The dely you are probably noticing is because of resolving problems , try -n
