[Bloat] Bloat goes away, but with ~25% speed loss?

[Aaron Wood]

What about the link type?  If there are extra overheads going on, that's
going to muck with the calculations (possibly adding latency, but shouldn't
be cutting bandwidth), since the throttling calculations will be wrong.
His ISP may be able to help with that.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if he set the bandwidth
limits at half his expected rate, and see if the latency is still there or
not.
