I did some new tests. Now I can't reproduce the problem.

I installed 18.06.1 and it'll do single TCP flow MSS 200 (-M 200 in 
iperf3) at 550 megabit/s shown in iperf3, and 87% sirq shown in top on 
WRT1200AC. When I set in/out speed at 800M and enable cake/layer_cake.qos 
then performance drops to ~400 megabit/s with the same packet flow. So the 
performance degradation is only around 20%, which I think is perfectly 
acceptable. I get very similar results with fq_codel and simple.qos.

I also took some power meter readings, WRT1200AC idles as 9.2W and at full 
CPU goes up to 10.4W.
