http://www.e-wro.pl/~acid/tc.batch.gz. In my opinion it's not the case
of expensive algorithms, but the number of classes. With this rule set loaded
(tc -b tc.batch) command:

for i in 'e1.903 e0.930 e0.931 e0.932' ; do
        tc qdisc del dev ${i} root
done
completly freezes machine for about 5-6 seconds.

I was trying do modify the code od hfsc_qdisc_destroy scheduling another
task using schedule_task (), but i don't have enough knowledge to do deal
with proper locking of qdisc structures.
