Simon,
With priority queueing the highest queue is serviced first and it
doesn't go to the next lower queue until it's emptied the top queue. It
would then need to empty the next lower queue before going to the next
lower queue (assuming the top one is still empty). For this reason, you
don't want to set your queues for the highest queue higher, you actually
want to set your lower queues higher (if you're getting drops). The
reason is they my have to wait awhile to get serviced so that queue can
back up and if it backs up too far packets get dropped.
