Thanks…and using ‘metro’ (rtt 10ms) does improve things (two more tests at the 
end):

In both cases, soft rate limiting to 950mbit when using lower RTTs works better 
than relying on bql for the back-pressure (if I’m saying that right).

So it just might be a thing (for the man page?) to avoid confusion. Or a 
warning emitted in some cases? Maybe there are other opinions on that...
