No, probably not... but we'd notice if we had a lot less.

But using the right queuing disciplines it a lot cheaper than the
brute force and ignorance of just upping the bandwidth, right?

Queueing doesn't get me my next game in time to play it tonight.  I've
always seen general queueing as a work-around for "not enough bandwidth
and can't add more"... but when more is available, why not just use
more?
