The quantum should be set to the MTU, or about 300 at lower rates if you can spare the CPU.
"Basically once you fill out the queue you will TAIL DROP. If you have a good enough internet connection and your ISP is able to keep up with the traffic on your line the default set limit and tuned quantum can handle it."
While I have not looked deeply at the fq_codel code for freebsd yet, the linux, ns3, ns2 implementations all seek out the biggest queue, and HEAD drop from that. Now depending on how pf is implemented, perhaps it is dropping elsewhere?
Head dropping from the fattest queue is a big feature, however, I can think of numerous ways that could be being done incorrectly - for example linux fq_codel increments the count variable on every overflow so as to hand the AQM more bite against the flow normally.
