Clarify the documentation for mod_buffer to better explain where the 

buffer might be useful, and that buffering is not guaranteed to improve
performance in all cases.

    <note type="warning">The buffer filters read the request/response into

        RAM and then repack the request/response into the fewest memory

        buckets possible, at the cost of CPU time. When the request/response

        is already efficiently packed, buffering the request/response could

        cause the request/response to be slower than not using a buffer at

        all. These filters should be used with care, and only where

        necessary.</note>
