If WebPage.Buffered is FALSE, the standard output is not buffered by 
Gambas. It means that the generated response is sent directly to the 
standard output, usually a HTTP server pipe.

If WebPage.Buffered is TRUE, the entire request response is buffered, 
and sent in one shot to the HTTP server.

In other words, when WebPage.Buffered is TRUE, you are sure that the 
client browser will receive the resulting HTML page (for example) the 
later as possible but in one shot.

Otherwise, the client browser may receive a partial answer to its 
request while the CGI script is generating it. A generated HTML page 
arrives faster, but the browser may display part of it while waiting the 
request to be completed.
