Ah, I thought you'd meant each station can queue MIN(4ms, 24ms-<other
stations>). I see that is not the case; it's up to 10ms as long as the
total is less than 20ms, and up to 4ms otherwise.

Gotta get those benchmark numbers in ;)

As long as one station always gets its 4ms, I'm not too worried about
PS; but that was not the case in my patch :)

Great!
