Where exactly is it not performing well? Can you show us where it isn’t working as expected? A bit more detail would be helpful, as I’m not a mind reader.
What?
Where is it not accurately displaying the total bandwidth that has been set?
There’s a README on GitHub where the most important things are documented. However, the README is a work in progress and is continuously being updated. You need to understand (and I don’t mean this in a bad way) that maintaining an application like this, answering questions, and writing manuals or documentation is very time-consuming and not profitable. I also have a life outside of OpenWRT...
This is an open-source project, and anyone who feels something is missing from the documentation or the application is welcome to make changes, submit pull requests, or contribute in other ways.
QoSMate is designed to work out of the box for most use cases without requiring much configuration. That was the main idea. However, experienced users can still tweak and adjust the settings.
If you’re unsure what each option does for your network, a good starting point would be to build up knowledge by reading about it.

A good place to start is the SimpleHFSCgamerscript thread, which QoSMate is based on:

The GitHub repository for SimpleHFSCgamerscript also provides a detailed description of how HFSC is implemented in this script:

Here are some general resources about SQM. Many concepts that apply to SQM are also relevant for QoSMate:

And finally, it would be very helpful if you could carefully read through this thread. If you learn something new and believe that this information absolutely needs to be included in the README, feel free to send me a draft or submit a pull request.
