Do you have any more details of this?  Because RTCP Sender Report packets 
are so small, and so infrequent, it seems unlikely that their reception is 
the real cause of your performance problems.  Perhaps your OS's 
implementation of "select()" is broken, so that the code thinks that the 
RTCP socket has newly readable data when it actually doesn't (so that the 
subsequent read from the socket ends up blocking for some period of time)??

No - such an addition is unlikely to be generally useful.  Note, BTW, that 
the information in RTCP Sender Reports are used for audio/video time 
synchronization.  If you disable RTCP, then you won't be able to 
synchronize audio and video.

The real solution is to fix whatever problem in your OS is causing your 
performance problem.
