If "static content" is "files from a file system", then proxy_* variables
are not used during the serving of that request.

Those variables only take effect when proxy_pass is used.

The answer to every question like this is always "if you do not measure
a difference, there is not an important difference in your use case".

My reading of http://nginx.org/r/proxy_buffering suggests that
proxy_buffers will not be used for that request.

All the best,
