Custom Queuing - Since 12.1, average packet size no longer

Hi Guys,
I read that traditionally the byte-count for a queue in custom-queueing will
send packets until it doesn't have enough to send a whole packet anymore.
However since 12.1, the queue will send packets until the byte-count goes
into negative (so if it has 100 bytes left in byte-count, it'll send a 200
byte packet but will remember the negative -100 balance).

So with this in mind, logic tells me that if I need to divide bandwidth
percentage amongst queues in a certain proportion, I can use any arbitrary
proportional numbers? So perhaps:

Q1: 20% so use byte-count 200
Q2: 40% so use byte-count 400
Q3: 15% so use byte-count 150
Q4: 25% so use byte-count 250

If this is true, the size of the average packet within each queue no longer
matters.....right?

Thanks!
