I'm not sure small necessarily means high priority. A jerk application
or user could still fill the outbound queue with many many small
packets (though probably not before the forwarding is CPU bound, I'd
guess).

I think I'll just have to console in and look at some counters next
time things start to crawl.

My bad, we do prioritize ICMP.
