Other testers please=20 note that you should test this without ALTQ_NOPCC. Looking at the patch=20 now, it seems that the eventhandler should take this into account, too. =20 i.e. when ALTQ_NOPCC is defined we emulate a 256Mhz clock with=20 microtime - this shouldn't be dependent on the real cpu frequency=20 (eventhough things will get strange when the clockspeed drops below=20 256Mhz). Sorry for not paying attention when you posted the patch.
