This is just an "more makes no sense" behaviour.

Here is an interesting hack to have 53000 SSID's on
one Radio: http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/

Sadly, some dumb commercial vendors (e.g. cisco) claim
to have "multi-ssid capable hardware", but it doesn't
make sense to have different SSID's on one AP, please
make an real-world-example for a senseful operation.

(different vlan-tagged ssid's does not count - all those
people haven't unterstood, where the security layer is
und what airtime means...)

Another sad thing: the pseudo-admin's try to compare
the product by "how much SSID's does this thing support?"
(rater than asking for clear 802.11-compliance)

Short homework:
Calculate the airtime for one beacon. (hint: it's a
management frame, it also needs collision avoidance and
exponential backoff and is _normally_ send with slowest
basic rate - would be nice to have this as an config-option,
lets say: beacon-interval = 250; beacon-rate = 12mbit)
