I seem to recall some issues with setting HZ very fast, in that it breaks the 
uniqueness assumptions made by TCP sequence generation if HZ > 1000.  Dummynet 
does want better than the standard 10ms granularity (HZ=100), so perhaps you 
might try HZ=1000 and see whether that makes any difference.

You might also consider increasing the queue length of your pipes when using 
prioriziation--- are you seeing packets being dropped?
