I might missunderstand the problem, but if you are sending the same 
message at the same time to several peers, why don't you use a broadcast 
pipe instead of a unicast pipe?

Also see the reply from Mohamed Abdelaziz "Re: [JXTA user] resource 
consumption for an open pipe" which to me indicates that keeping the 
pipe open and storing it would be the most efficient way in this case
