you can try to play with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_{w,r,}mem. If wmem is
smaller than space in qdisc (15kB for 10 pfifo, approx 200kB for SFQ)
then TCP will back off before it fill the qdisc...
Also with sfq it should work - it is like pfifo with limit 128 - you
might need to increase wmem.
Note that the problem occur only when you have qdisc on the same machine
as sending app.
