Documentation

The size of the print queue in characters, for doing buffered printing.

Larger values for this option will generally result in faster execution by reducing the overhead associated with each print operation, but will increase the time it takes to see any progress in the output; smaller values will do the reverse.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.
