Ahh.  I might be showing my lack-of-complete-understanding for the TC
syntax.  I agree, that as long as you are only "de-prioritizing" (i.e.
letting them have full bandwidth if there are no other users, but
allowing other users' packets to take priority) packets in a connection
after 1MB, that can make sense.
