You can only control traffic that leaves an interface and you can't combine 2 interfaces. But with the imq device, you can redirect whatever-you-want traffic to the 1 device. So you can redirect traffic that leaves eth0 and eth1 to the same device, you can combine both interfaces. > So if somebody is planning to give > customer fixed bandwidth regarless if a customer is 'uploading' or > 'downloading',he (or she:) MUST use IMQ virtual device ?

No. But sometimes you need the imq device. > How IMQ device (kernel) will behave on heavy load traffic > (like VoIP,gaming,other 'real-time' traffic) comparing on mashine without > using IMQ virtual device ?

As long as you don't have more then 10^6 filter rules, you are fine :) You should be more worry about active classes. I once created 5000 active classes on a 486, 25Mhz, 8MB Ram and I was able to shape 10mbit without remarkable delays.
