Buffer Tool : Generalize to 1% of Buffer size

[stataltgee]

Generalize to 1% of Buffer size: Selected by default. This optimizes speed by cutting down the number of nodes in the buffered object.

While reading about "Buffer Tool" I came across this line. What does this mean?

@stataltgee 
"Generalize to 1% of Buffer size: Selected by default" means that the tool is configured to simplify or reduce the complexity of the buffered object by retaining only 1% of its original nodes or vertices. This simplification process helps to optimize the processing speed and efficiency by reducing the amount of data that needs to be handled.

@Raj in what scenarios can we use or not use this feature? How can we decide whether to use it or to not use it?
