It depends.  But try 10%  and measure the link usage.

It can be very accurate and very fast.  Like said before, it depends on the 
software you use and how quick to software reacts on a change in the 
bandwidth.
I did some bursts test with htb.  You can see on some of the graphs that if 
there is an other tcp stream, htb reacts very fast.  But this only for 
outoing packets and measered on the loopback interface.  So the problem is 
not htb, but application, routers, modems, ...
