Ok, I managed to figure out one thing. Apparently I was disabling traffic 
shaping wrong, commenting out TC_ENABLED rather than setting it to No. This 
used to work, but an update somewhere along the line seems to have changed 
that.

So, with traffic shaping enabled, I can't seem to get any decent speed with a 
config that used to work fine.
