Well, you're up from 94.5% to 99.95%, so they seem to do :)

A couple of comments:

- The patches so far only improve things on x86

- Try to test using UDP (not sure if you did) or simply a ping flood,
  TCP is not ideal.

- iproute calculates burst values automatically. With the higher
  precision clock source you can use a smaller value (also done
  automatically if you don't specify them).

- HFSC is more precise than HTB (and not the least more complicated
  to configure if you use only linear service curves)
