sshuttle has a --latency-buffer-size parameter, but it only changes the buffer size on the client and not the server. Therefore, increasing or decreasing the number doesn't make any change in download performance (like the documentation indicates that it should). You can test this change by setting up a sshuttle connection and downloading a large file through sshuttle. With this patch, you should find that increasing --latency-buffer-size increases the download speed. Without the patch, the parameter should have little impact on performance.
