Rate and burst do not really influence the CPU. The more classes you have,
the more load it will give. But I once shaped 5.000 parallel streams on a
10mbit connection with 486, 25hz, 8MB ram. I used htb and the box survived
the test without the load becoming bigger then 1.00.
If you use latest htb, you only need a rate parameter. The burst will be
callulated for you.
