Wow. It is very interesting. Did you tried to read counters
in iptables -vL and compare counts ? Like to read value from
/proc/net/dev compare to count of packets at INPUT chain and
then compare with no of packets in DROP chains.
It could give us better picture where are the packets going to.

But it seems there is problem with too many connections. The dropping
may work but remote sites will still try to resend the packets and
because you have high number of connections there SYNs and duplicates
will go at least several minutes.
