Why not just turn off buffering completely?

Hmm okay, so that would essentially buffer as much as it can in RAM (which
really wouldn't be much based on the default buffer sizes). Once that in
memory buffer becomes full, then what happens? It starts sending the data to
the client thats in the buffer as well any anything that isn't?

I'm working on a configuration for an nginx proxy that splits requests
between two upstream servers. The main reason I'm using a proxy is for SSL
termination and for redundancy between the two upstream servers. Each
upstream server is just a simple nginx server with identical media files
stored on
One thing I thought of is that proxy_buffering is ideal if you have slow
clients - where downloading the media files could take a long time. In this
case, the goal would be to free up upstream workers. However, since my
upstream is NOT an application server, and just nginx, is that really
necessary
