Why aren't buffers auto-flushed by default?

سؤال

I recently had the privilege of setting $| = 1; inside my Perl script to help it talk faster with another application across a pipe.

I'm curious as to why this is not the default setting. In other words, what do I lose out on if my buffer gets flushed straightaway?
