I'm sorry for this other update, but it seems the problem might be 
somewhere else.  I used this config to test:

FromDevice(eth2, PROMISC 1) -> T1 :: Tee;
T1[0] -> C1 :: Counter -> Q1 :: Queue(10) -> BandwidthShaper(250000 Bps) 
-> ToDevice(eth1);
T1[1] -> ToDump(eth2in.pcap)
FromDevice(eth1, PROMISC 1) -> T2 :: Tee;
T2[0] -> C2 :: Counter -> Q2 :: Queue(10) -> BandwidthShaper(250000 Bps) 
-> ToDump(eth2);
T2[1] -> ToDump(eth1in.pcap)

It seems that the strange behaviour (the described flow pattern with 0.6 
s @ 4.5 Mbps and the rest of the time at 2 Mbps) can allready be found 
in the dumpfile at the incoming side.  However, a tcpdump at the 
incoming interface shows a correct flow pattern at a constant rate of 
4.5 Mbps the whole time.  Does anyone have an idea why incoming traffic 
in click is something else than incoming traffic on the interface?  Is 
this some "feature" about how the kernel delivers packets to the click 
router?  Thanks a lot!
