I'm not sure about this - but if you're using PRIQ, there are 16 
priorities available (0-15), and I don't think you can have multiple 
queues with the same priority (although I could be wrong).

What I want to know is if there is a way to show how much memory pf's 
queues, state tables, etc. are taking up. Right now, I'm assigning a tag 
on 'in $int_if', assigning a queue based on that tag on 'out $ext_if', 
and keeping state in both spots. Seems like this would double the amount 
of memory the state tables would need, but I don't know how to check 
and/or do it better.
