Hm. Would there still be the same problem if you used process.nextTick()?

I tried earlier today. setImmediate() works but process.nextTick() still hangs.

From some ad hoc testing I got the impression that the event loop is making some progress - i.e. it's not that dgram.send() is truly synchronous - but it's not making enough progress for the setTimeout timer in benchmark/net/dgram.js to fire.

}
