Deleting of estimators (gen_kill_estimator) isn't optimized for
a large number of them, and it's a known issue. Adding of classes
shouldn't be such a problem, but maybe you could try to do this
before adding filters directing to those classes.

Since you can control rate with htb, I'm not sure you really need
policing: at least you could try if removing this changes anything.
And I'm not sure: do these tx hangs happen only when classes are
added/deleted or otherwise too?
