It just means moving data into a "buffer" zone of memory to be accessed when the program needs. Take streaming video. It will read the data from the internet but in order to obtain smooth reproduction you need the data in a smooth stream. The internet connection may not be reliable for this (varying speeds (up and down), connection loss etc) so the data is loaded into a location in local memory first. Whilst this is being used at a controlled rate the next piece of data is loaded into this buffer. Sort of ;) I don't see why buffering is a problem unless it is timing out which could indicate a connection problem.
