You pay that price back when the packets are dropped. We use a lot of advanced codec managers for broadcast, and while they do combining like this, they also offer the ability to repeat frames within subsequent packets. So you may get a packet with frames [1,2,3] then a packet with frames [2,3,4].
The best codecs actively monitor the connection and adjust all these parameters in real time for you.
