There's your issue right there: if you care about the millisecond level
granularity of network traffic going by this router, you ought to set
HZ to 1000 as documented in "man dummynet".

Knew I forgot to read something.  I guess I forgot all about dummynet is the one doing the traffic shaping as I never used traffic shaping on the other boxes when they were used as both Ethernet and T1 routers.  I've always had NMBCLUSERS set to 32768 which I assume is fine.  Also, is there a way to use two NICs like a xl0 and a fxp0 and bond them together with just one IP?
