There is also discussion on the LARTC list at the moment - someone called roy has rewritten IMQ but still sees crashes. He thinks they are related to locally generated traffic, so IMQ for ingress should be OK. Personally I have used IMQ for locally generated traffic (> a gig/day up with bittorrent running on a P200 gateway) without problems, but I only have 256kbit/s up and shutdown everything at night.
