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.
