1000HZ made situation much better. But i'm still debugging the case.
Difficult part, there is many small packets, and i didn't found any reference 
how Cisco count packets. I know that HTB counts with Ethernet header, but 
maybe Cisco catching something else.
One thing i can say, HFSC more precise than HTB for now.
HFSC started to be more precise after changing to 1000HZ, but i had system 
crashed yesterday, while applying new rules. Probably it is old bug with 
timers, which we debugged before. It is rare case now, but seems happened 
yesterday.
But anyway, i will try to test today again, and compare with old results.

In numbers:
Before HFSC was reaching 60-61Mbps, when set 57. Now set 60, and now rarely 
reach 61. Why i'm not happy about that, because it is mrtg results, which is 
averaged by 5 minutes. I understand if there can be short bursts for 61 megs, 
but why average(for long period of time) results become higher?
I think misprecision must vary to both side, when it becomes higher for few 
(milli?)seconds, it must become lower also for same time.
