I ran two tests with the following ipfw rules:
ipfw pipe 10 config bw 10kbit/s
ipfw add 5 pipe 10 ip from 10.0.0.1 to me

== with: if (len_scaled > q->numbytes) ==
wget --progress=dot some_file
    0K .......... ..........  0%    1.13 KB/s
   50K .......... ..........  1%    1.14 KB/s
  100K .......... ..........  2%    1.14 KB/s
  150K .......... ..........  3%    1.14 KB/s

== with: if (len_scaled > q->numbytes + 100000 )
wget --progress=dot some_file
    0K .......... ..........  0%    1.13 KB/s
   50K .......... ..........  1%    1.14 KB/s
  100K .......... ..........  2%    1.14 KB/s
  150K .......... ..........  3%    1.14 KB/s
