When the receiver and sender are on the same machine, the sendto() pass the 
packet to loopback and enters the receiving side. With that many sockets, the 
time to go through all sockets maybe 100 us. So your sendto() seems to be 
slow, but the slow part is the receiver.

If you put two machines, the sender might send XX.XXX frames per second (full 
speed), but the receiver might handle 5% of them and drop 95%

This is all speculation, since you didnt gave us the exact setup you use.
