If you are using caching pipeline then complete response will have to be 
buffered in any case. For non caching pipelines, complete response will have to 
be buffered if serializer requires content length to be set. For all other 
cases... I think this outputBuffer is not really needed.

>     </map:match>
> The file "bigtest.xml" is a 100Mb XML file that I simply want to generate and
