Adding transaction types that do payments to multiple recipients at once will happen, e.g. for asset dividends. Some other specific transaction types can be optimized to do multiple changes at once, e.g. allow a seller to update many product prices in one transaction. But a generic feature to bundle multiple transactions into one, where each internal transaction is still considered a separate transaction, will not save much space or processing, as those transactions still have to be unpacked and take multiple rows in the database, otherwise you can't run queries on them or need to handle them as a special case. The increase in code complexity in my opinion exceeds any potential savings.

Does jean-luc have estimate figures of how much is saved? E.g. space used on the blockchain by 100 separate Nxt transfers, vs all of them batched together like this? And consequently how much the fee can be reduced for batch txs?

It is plan by the community to reduce the Nxt fee once after the voting system is in place. This will happen.
