Backpressure controls a producer’s pace when a consumer cannot keep up. With Clojure’s seque, a bounded buffer lets production run ahead, then pauses a lazy producer when the buffer is full. section 9.1.4
Buffering a slow consumer
Wrapping a fast producer with (seque ...) fills the buffer before consumption catches up, unlike direct consumption, which alternates production and consumption. A slow producer can likewise supply a fast consumer incrementally.
