Are you saying it's buffering what you see in your terminal, or what's written to the file, or both? I can't recall really seeing it buffer like that but maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention. It's always seemed pretty real time to me. Can you post an example of a command line where you'd see this happening? Generally for things like moinitoring log output in real time, I'll use tail -f and pipe that through other commands like grep if I need to. I'll use tee for something like running a script, where I want to see stdout but also have it captured to a file I can refer to later.
