Imho, this hw could handle something between 50 and 100 clients.
I've assumed that this device has 500k ram.

Also, it is planned than TinyMqtt will a able to handle a tree (mesh) of brokers / clients
(client -> broker node -> ... -> final broker)
This way, each node has to handle ~5 clients, the final broker will be able to handle hundreds of clients depending only on how many topics are used.
Even a ESP8266 could handle so many clients this way.

I'm closing this issue because that is not a issue, please continue this in "Discussion". That is what it is.
