Well, I have tested a bit more, including DFBSD. Although it handled the traffic with limits a bit better (otoh, the computer was much slower - p2 333, so it might have had some influence), it still had problems. Option HZ bumped to 1000 (as is recommended in most cases, when altq is in question) solved the problem - accuracy was perfect.

I managed to compile OBSD 3.9 with HZ option (but it's not a documented one and I needed small patch posted not so long ago at openbsd-tech - http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-tech&m=113673508428056&w=2 ). PF with hfsc is razor sharp now, and my OBSD seems perfectly fine.

Still - are there any reasons why HZ is left undocumented in case of OBSD ? Any potential issues that could show up after adjusting it ?
