Hmm, why is this optimal?

The FIFO for WB is the output fifo, right? In mem-to-mem mode the whole
WB pipeline can stall, so the fifo can't overflow? If so, isn't it
better to collect more data and flush all that to the memory, instead of
sending each burst-size piece one by one?

Then again, if the input side is reading pixels from the memory all the
time, even if the output fifo helps to keep the output side idle for
longer periods, it probably doesn't help as the input side keeps the
memory bus awake.
