I'm not sure of anything now... It's 7 p.m. here, and during this busy 
time of day in terms of network use there are 350-500 up to 600 drops 
per second at around 530-550 mbps net load. This is roughly equivalent 
to 2-7 mbps dropped on output. It might be better than before. Next 
thing I'll try is bce queue maxlen 1024 -> 2048, and HZ 2000 again 
"back" to 4000.
