Processes P1 and P2 have a producer-consumer relationship, communicating by the use of a set of shared buffers.

P1: repeat
    Obtain an empty buffer
    Fill it
    Return a full buffer
    forever
P2: repeat
    Obtain a full buffer
    Empty it
    Return an empty buffer
    forever

Increasing the number of buffers is likely to do which of the following?

I. Increase the rate at which requests are satisfied (throughput)

II. Decrease the likelihood of deadlock

III. Increase the ease of achieving a correct implementation
