I have an 8G symmetric connection and I have followed the instructions here to manage bufferbloat. All defaults are untouched and Queue length is 5000 as per guidance and bandwidth limited to 7000Mbits/s

There issue I have is when enabled, my speeds drop to 4Gbps Up/Down. Hardware-wise, my CPU is an Intel Core i5-9600T and I'm using an Intel X550-T2 NIC for WAN/LAN. Is this a CPU bottleneck?
