Most database management systems and operating systems provide some control over the organization of the buffers used temporarily to hold data store blocks being written to secondary storage or being read from secondary storage. Buffer design can be crucial to system performance, and buffer tuning provides one of the simplest ways of improving system performance.
Buffer design may be delayed until it's time to construct the data stores. It is included here as a separate subtask to emphasize that it is an essential part of TD and that enough time is allocated for its completion. If the system loading shows high variance between different times of the day, different buffer arrangements should be designed for various periods of the day.
