more to your point, by how much ?
really depends on the rest of the system
in the case where the wb's internal flow path cross-section is the same as the fittings, not so great
-> but even so worthwhile for anyone with an interest in performance

I am confused by something. Perhaps it is made clear in the article by this phrase: "connector chamfering mods." But as I have no idea what this means, I will ask what may well be a very stupid question.
I can't figure out if your above reference regarding increasing the barb size is speaking of improved flow because of using larger diameter tubing, or if 1/2 vs. 3/8 inch barbs alone make a significant difference when a block has 3/8 inch Cross sectional area internally.
I know this is neither really here nor there as this debate seems to be regarding swivel elbows, but I'm curious and confused.
