Without understanding your overall QoS strategy, it's hard 
to give a definitive answer. But based on the fact that you 
say your PIC is running quite hot, I wouldn't be surprised 
to learn that RED is kicking in.

Junos will automatically register a Gig-E PIC/port as having 
1000Mbps of bandwidth. QoS will automatically use that 
unless you specifically define 'bandwidth' at the 'unit' 
level.

One more thing, I wouldn't allocate 70% of bandwidth to the 
EF queue. 33% tends to be typical, but you can do whatever 
you want also.
