I run 1536/256 ADSL here and found that a figure or 205Kb is the upper limit for me (versus the 170Kb you have) , any more and the queue wont drop packets correctly, any less and i'm not getting the full bandwidth i'm paying for. If you have 256Kb try changing this figure and you might find you gain some extra speed.

queue std_out           priq(default red) qlimit 1
queue websrv_out        priority 2 qlimit 1
queue rdp_out           priority 3 qlimit 1
queue web_out           priority 4 qlimit 1
queue im_out            priority 5 qlimit 1
queue radio_out         priority 6 qlimit 1
queue ssh_out           priority 7 qlimit 1
queue dns_out           priority 8 qlimit 1
queue udp_gaming_out    priority 11 qlimit 1
queue ip_telefoni_out   priority 15


I had a play a while ago with the qlimit but I had it added into the "altq on rl1......" line, oddly it never changed a thing and never gave an error. Since seeing your qlimit statements i've been playing with it for the past couple of days and working on tuning and found a qlimit of 1 serverly limited queues and they never saw full bandwith potential. I found a good figure for me was 10 as opposed to a standard 50. My testing of the qlimit number had me pinging a local site while uploading with Azurues and watching its graph. Basically I tried to get the graph flat when there was nothing else uploading and it turns sawtoothish when upload bandwidth is needed. I also tried to get the pings consistant (icmp traffic is set to 15 for me specifically for testing) and as low as possible.
