If your HTB configuration is working well (HTB works really very well) you 
have to wait some time that TCP flows get stable. How long your test last? 
How heavy is your e-mail? Did you leave enough time to www to reclaim its 
rights? How strong is your www flow? Are you measuring average or 
instantaneous rates?
