I think so because unlike simple prio queue htb has to maintain some timers and counters and buffers. I'm not saying that htb is heavy, but I'm quite sure that prio is lighter. I have to shape /19 at the moment and possibly more in the future. In this case I want to save as much resourses as possible and attach htb classes to the simple queue bands.
