I've done some simple benchmarking with an a modified version of the send/recv 
examples (modified to send/receive multiple messages).

Testing this change against an equivalent trunk version shows a small speed up 
of between 1-5% in nearly every case, the worst I saw in this test was a 0.04% 
slow down. I have no explanation for any speed up due to this code, but I think 
this test shows the change is small enough to not be noticeable under usual 
circumstances.
