Thanks a lot. Seems also Martin Devera pointed me, what can be issue.
HZ=1000000000 is way too high.
Real tests shows, that HZ=1000 more than enough with hrtimers on.

By the way possible it is triggered deadlock bug in htb, it is not a fix of this bug,
but a fix of very wrong behaviour, because of this bug 
HTB will use very extensively resources.

If it's required, i can give more detailed explanation

iproute2 : invalid burst/cburst calculation with hrtimers

If hrtimers on, /proc/net/psched shows 4th variable 
as 1000000000
Because burst calculated by division rate to this variable, 
it will be almost always zero. As result, we will get higher system 
load on low rates, and on high rates shaper will not able to process 
data. It is checked and proved. Core 2 Quad was not able to 
shape 200Mbps, and gave only 180-190. It is more safe to set it 
to 1000HZ. If user wants, he can set custom "env" HZ variable.
