Docky

Are there any downsides to flushing buffers more often than not?

Asked by Mike_IronFist

Suppose I run docky with the following command:
docky -b 7

Is that safer or less power-consuming than running this?:
docky -b 1

Buffers do what their name implies, they buffer computations. Flushing them just adds overhead and forces your cpu to recompute stuff more often.

Can you help with this problem?
