When describing the input stream back-pressure problem:

> To mitigate this problem, a pause() method was added. This could solve the problem, but it required extra code; and since the flooding issue only presents itself when the process is very busy, many Node programs can be flooded with data. The result is a system with bad tail latency.

Are they saying that even with correct use of pause() there are still issues?




They're saying since the issue doesn't present itself until it's too late most code does not use pause().
