Probably your problems about "i can send about seven messages per second" may be relationed to OS's tcp connection stream buffering... try to flush every fd after write to it. I wrote a multi-threaded (pcntl_fork()) application in phpcli using many sockets and they worked well... array iterations are fast and easy too, as they have only one level... so I believe that this is really relationed to socket flushing stuffs...you can also use select() to determine when a fd is ready for write and implement a "write spool"... only a ideia, but probably will spent more time with the same results... well.. flush then may resolve it.
