This prevents potentially reading (and buffering) every input host while looking for more targets to fill up the current hostgroup. One of the criteria that can split hostgroups is interface. Suppose you have an input list of targets whose interfaces are eth0 eth0 eth0 wlan0 wlan0 wlan0 wlan0 wlan0 wlan0... The first three eth0 will go in the first group, and then the following wlan0 will start to be buffered while we look for more eth0. But we will only look ahead 64 targets, then go ahead and scan the three eth0.
