You need to use values a little bit less than the
maximum BW you ISP grants you to be able to shape
the traffic. Otherwise the ISPs shaper will kick
in and jam the Pipes.

Depending on you p2p protocol it will create a lot
of packages that fall into you category for the
high priority queue (like small packages, f.e.).
These will jam your pipes, too.

It's normal that the latency (which is the main
cause for the loading time of a website) will go
up if a link is saturated. If this is another
reason for the increase I do not know.
