It occurs to me that prioritising ICMP within the router firmware could possibly give the appearance of better performance - a bit like the processor manufacturers were found to be doing some years back to make their chips look good in benchmarks.

That could assist with improvements in upstream latency (i.e if ICMP packets jumped the send queue) but can't impact the downstream.
The upstream can be tested if a large TCP upload is started and then ICMP packets sent during this. If the ICMP are really queue jumping then latency for these would stay low.
But I agree, real world gaming or voip comparisons would help.
