Re: [Caml-list] print_int is too slow

I don't see the point of using Buffer if he does not intend to
postprocess the output; why store the string in full? Just avoid
print_newline() if you don't want buffering, print_string "\n" will be
fine (or Printf.printf without %!, etc.).
Why are we having this conversation?
