I also wondered what this benchmark for, other than for the benchmark
itself. ;-)
ENet looks like a gaming network library, where you have to serve at most
about 50 persons in a regular client-server or peer-peer network setup.
Situations where you'd get 1000+ connections: a webserver (making your own
Apache) and Massive Multiplayer Online Games. Both of which I think are
certainly not the target of ENet.

Optimizations are always welcome ofcourse, but personally I'd say this
optimization would bring nothing to 99% of the ENet users except more
chances at bugs as it is implemented and used.

Not trying to keep things static, I just wonder whether optimizing support
for non-practical situations is of any use. ;-)

I service ENet at 1000Hz btw, not a problem (but I'm not using more than
around 8 clients).
