I didn't respond because I thought someone more knowledgable than me would. I don't often use buffering streams because I mostly write utility type programs for local use. However, if you had an application which requires a large amount of data, particularly if that data is retrieved over the web you might find that using BufferedStream would improve the performance of your application.
The links above are valuable for learning more on the difference.
What you don't know can hurt you!
