Does Arduino "subscribe buffer size" affect wireless connection stability?

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to an Arduino, or a couple of Arduinos via Bluetooth serial, and am wondering if the 'subscribe buffer' size makes a difference in the stability of the bluetooth connection?

[INFO] [WallTime: 1355082105.350746] ROS Serial Python Node
[INFO] [WallTime: 1355082105.364278] Connected on /dev/rfcomm2 at 57600 baud
[INFO] [WallTime: 1355082109.857011] Note: subscribe buffer size is 280 bytes

If so, how do I change this buffer? If not, is there anything that I can do to stabilize the connection a bit more? It seems to miss a lot of packets (which I understand is inherent in wireless), but is there any way to secure a better connection?
