QoS question with Linksys WRT54GL and Tomato

So I finally replace my DI-624 piece of junk with the WRT54GL and it has been fantastic. No more disconnects through the day!!! Anyway, I have a question about QoS:

I ran a speed test and got my up/down numbers and plugged them into QoS. 6500kbits/s down, 420kbits/s up. Those are 95% of the lowest figures I got running the speed test. Last night I decided to try and max out my upload and play a g**e, to see how QoS handles the traffic (I setup dst port 27015 as high priority and torrents at lowest priority). I took off the cap of 15kB/s upload in uTorrent and let it go as fast as it can and then fired up team fortress. At first, my ping was 300ms. I then lowered the upload speed of 420kbits/s in QoS to something like 380 and got my ping down to 55ms. No matter how much more I lowered the upload speed, my ping would not go below 55ms. Then I put the cap back on uTorrent and my ping went down to 26ms (what I usually ping on the server). uTorrent was pretty much the only program uploading so I had plenty of free upload speed when the ping went down to 26ms.

My question is, is the ping being twice as slow a result of the extra processing necessary to prioritize traffic when it is maxing out the value you plug into QoS? Thx!

Re: QoS question with Linksys WRT54GL and Tomato

I've recently thrown out my old EDIMAX router, since it's been giving me a hard time, not doing what it should. I purchased a Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router, in order to use it as a wired/wireless device for the various computers I have in my house.
I've followed this guide I read somewhere about setting up my ADSL modem through my router and to my wired computers:

1) I connected my own PC to one of the WRT54GL's LAN ports (not the WAN one), accessed it, cloned my PC's MAC address and changed its IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1.

2) Next, I connected my ADSL modem to my router's WAN port, and left the connection between my PC and one of my router's LAN ports. It would allow me internet access, supposedly through my router.

3) This should've been the final step, disconnecting my router and my ADSL modem, taking them downstairs, where all the house's network cables are, and reapplying step 2, only this time I wanted to plug in my PC again, and my brother's PC (both to LAN ports of course).
