Could we do number 1 for the short term and look at going for number 2 in the long term? Am I correct in thinking that buffering draws would be something along the lines of a `fillBytes` method? Would both approaches require an evolution proposal? The first option seems like it could be added at anytime (while alerting people on the forums ofc).

The first definitely does not require evolution. The second would. And yes, the first can be done quickly (I was planning to do it while traveling this weekend).
