follow-up:
just now i realized that there's no direct way to know which client
number (or IP-address) is given to a certain target.
which means that a shorter message meant for a specific client still has
to be sent to all.
so it will be only 'cheaper' when there's just one or a few clients
needing an update at the same moment.
