When faced with streaming trade-offs in the past, we have usually considered

This is a very email-centric view. I know of a number of applications
involving secure transmission of content from sensing devices (medical imaging
for example, which generates huge uncompressed images) and security monitoring
where the sender has minimal resources and the receiver has all the storage
