Take a look at http://eggdrop.org.ru/scripts/putserv_vs_putfast.tcl
I've wrote this script to eliminate any flood limits eggdrop has in
it's queues except that are used by modules in C, but i guess this is
possible too.

Load this script before all others ( while this is not strictly
required ). It overrides default putserv/puthelp/putquick commands
with our own and send data to server without any checks. I hope this
is what you need.
