Your English seems fine. The query was because you did not provide any
details about what the "not working" looked like. There are quite a few
known bugs with delay pools doing odd things - they are an extremely old
feature that pre-dates most QoS functionality people tend to be more
familiar with.

Well, yes and no. The small detail that nobody is sure the problem you
have is the one Alex was talking about still applies. Your problem may
be one none of us are aware of yet. We will not know for sure until you
run the v5 code and see whether it starts working.
