So?
Using IP tables to drop packets also is going to add queuing delays since cwnd will get decreased in response to the loss (CUBIC uses beta of 0.2 IIRC).
It may be less queuing delay (note: write() completes the moment data is in the outgoing buffer kernel side, so it may not be as apparent, and is somewhat harder to measure), and it's your relay so I don't care what you do, so do whatever you think works.
That said, placing an emphasis on unit-less quantities generated by a measurement system that is currently held together by duct tape, string, and chewing gum seems rather pointless and counter productive.
