Could you provide your linux-2.6.25 .config file please ?
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 ?
