Seem you want to achieve somekind of concave service curve but with terrible times, maybe you could try to do it some way the HFSC queuer does but definitly not in a script or using HTB, HTB uses a linear service curve as a Token Bucket actually does, you should try using the linux port of the HFSC made by Alex Goldney you can find further info here http://members.optushome.com.au/agoldney/ HFSC is intented for delay bounding, but I think you could do some strange arragments to achieve what u say. Tell me if u get it.
