similarly by minimizing the pressure drop with cycling it generates less heat, but proper filters/coolers can largely negate that. In any instance the size of the tank has nothing to do with the pumps ability to "keep up" with a booster as they will be running at 100% duty cycle while running which I think was the original intent of the OP. I did just upgrade to a new CA compressor that has an active air:air intercooler which is pretty neatThere is one good thing with bigger tanks size. But as you mention it isn't related to continuous loads.
The benefit is the larger surface area helps cool the air. Cool air drops moisture better. A small tank will run hotter than a large tank for the same airflow.
