What kind of hardware is your box ? (CPU, network interfaces)
CBQ and other packet schedulers depend on a fast ktime_get() interface, so maybe slowdown you notice has its root on core kernel facilities (CONFIG_HZ, SCHED_HRTICK, HIGH_RES_TIMERS, ...)
If you remove CBQ, do you get same slowdown if you have a tcpdump running on your machine ?
