Thanks Jonathan!

Curious and curiouser

I'd love to understand the difference between the tests I've been doing and
your tests.

   - How many TCP flows did you have please ( cake performance seems to
   drop significantly with increased number of TCP flows, although I need to
   do more testing to understand why )?
   - What was the RTT?
   - Load tool?
   - ... so many questions :)
