With 1024 queues, the 50% probability of a collision is expected at sqrt(1024) = 32 flows.  With 128, this decreases to about 11 or 12 flows (11*11 = 121; 12*12 = 144).

In both cases, onset of high collision probability could be staved off until a larger number of flows by using a collision-avoiding hash function, such as the set-associative hash used in Cake.
