doesn't the smart queue feature reduce the maximum bandwidth the router can handle?

  In some cases, your connection speed may be fast enough that your router's CPU can't keep pace when doing traffic shaping. But if your router is powerful enough, then properly configured SQM will not result in any meaningful reduction in throughput (and can lead to better real-world throughput, by allowing congestion control to work properly). The more you know about the properties of your WAN connection, the more accurately you can configure SQM to account for the true limits of your connection. If you have an ADSL connection, then it helps to tell SQM to take into account ATM framing overhead, for example.
