Actually, the underlying streambuf class does all the buffering. The streams
themselves don't, true, but there is another component which (optionally,
normally) does.
Users doing lots of I/O via standard {input,output,error} all through the
C++ facilities are encouraged to use sync_with_stdio() to turn off the
tricky sych pieces and improve performance. And I think Benjamin just
got that working a couple weeks ago. (Yay.)
