Optimization Help...Sending UDP Data from Clones to Max

HI all,

I have the following script (below), which is sending cloned planet prefab position data from Unity into Max via UDP. I am receiving all data fine, as long as I only have 3 or 4 clones. When I get to 9, everything bogs down hard. While all the data is getting there, it is behind by several seconds.

For the record: I need this to be on clones that will be generated by visitors to the exibition. I couldn't get the mu tools from VT to work with clones.

For testing, you can attach this to any object and receive in Max with a mxj net.udp.recv @port 7474

Can any of you guru's help me optimize this to lose the drag? Should I funnel or limit the packets?

Thank you so much in advance!

         server = new UdpClient(hostName, port);
         server.Connect( hostName, port );
 
         SendFloat (gameObject.name + " " + "X", transform.position.x);
         SendFloat (gameObject.name + " " +  "Y", transform.position.y);
         SendFloat (gameObject.name + " " +  "Z", transform.position.z);
     }
 
 
     // Sends an Float value to Max //
     public void SendFloat(string maxRouteArgument, float val)
     {
         string message = maxRouteArgument + " " + val;
         byte[] messageBytes = byteEncoder.GetBytes( message );
         SendBytes( messageBytes );
     }
 
     private void SendBytes( byte[] message )
     {
         try
         {
             server.Send( message, message.Length );
         } 
         catch( SocketException e )
         {
             Debug.LogError( e );
         }
     }
 
     // Close server on exit //
     void OnApplicationQuit()
     {
         server.Close ();
     }
