 I have recently set up a machine with PHP with both buffering and

 Can someone explain the benefit(s) of setting these ini directives to
 values (ie. larger than 4kb) rather than On ?

 I've played around with it as I thought it might speed things up by
 using a bigger buffer etc. but the only difference I noticed is a big
 jump in memory usage.

If you somehow manage to spew out more than 3MB before you try to call
header() or session_start() or whatever, then the buffer got dumped, and
it's too late.

At least, that's how I think it would work...

But I never turn buffering on anyway, so what do I know?
