Can you quantify how/why this is a problem?  I didn't think that 
connections were particularly heavyweight in enet (compared to, say, 
TCP).

That said, what you're describing is still pretty much the necessary 
minimum to send a guaranteed packet, so I don't think there's any way 
around this short of dropping to raw UDP and handling lost packets 
yourself.
