either you have set the bandwidth wrong (does "ipfw pipe show"
list the speed you want for the pipes ? can you post its
output ?) or you are doing the measurement on a saturated link,
in which case when you use dummynet with dynamic queues you have 
a lot more buffering going on, and this would explain why you 
see higher ping times (but perhaps without it you see some
large amount of losses) ?
