+#### Custom buffer sizes
+Prior to v9.12, the buffer size was the default go value of 4096 bytes. Starting from v9.12, 
+go-redis uses 256KiB read and write buffers by default for optimal performance.
+For high-throughput applications or large pipelines, you can customize buffer sizes:
+
+```go
+rdb := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
+    Addr:            "localhost:6379",
+    ReadBufferSize:  1024 * 1024, // 1MiB read buffer
+    WriteBufferSize: 1024 * 1024, // 1MiB write buffer
+})
+```
+
+**Important**: If you experience any issues with the default buffer sizes, please try setting them to the go default of 4096 bytes.
+
 ## Contributing
 We welcome contributions to the go-redis library! If you have a bug fix, feature request, or improvement, please open an issue or pull request on GitHub.
 We appreciate your help in making go-redis better for everyone.
