+	<p>Specifies whether the group is buffered: when a view draws it, it draws its content into a canvas of its own, which it keeps, and only draws into it again when something in the group changes, or the part of it that the view shows does, e.g. after zooming or panning. Otherwise, the view only composites the buffer, with the group&rsquo;s <a href="../classes/Item.html#opacity"><tt>item.opacity</tt></a> and <a href="../classes/Item.html#blendmode"><tt>item.blendMode</tt></a>. This pays off for large groups and layers that rarely change, such as a complex background below animated items.</p>
+<p>It doesn&rsquo;t pay off when the buffer is drawn again on every frame: while the view pans or zooms on every frame, while the group itself is moved or transformed, or when an item inside it is animated. Put animated items into another group or layer instead.</p>
+<p>The buffer costs memory: it covers the part of the group that the view shows, at up to <code>width × height × 4 × pixelRatio²</code> bytes for a group that fills the whole view.</p>
