sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows
SFQ enqueue algo puts a new flow _behind_ all pre-existing flows in the circular list. In fact this is probably an old SFQ implementation bug. 100 Mbits = ~8333 full frames per second, or ~8 frames per ms. With 50 flows, it means your "new flow" will have to wait 50 packets being sent before its own packet. Thats the ~6ms. We certainly can change SFQ to give a priority advantage to new flows, so that next dequeued packet is taken from a new flow, not an old one.
