I'm not seeing any increase in throughput after trying to fast track connections. A confirmation that things aren't working as they should is shown in the linked image.
Rule #0 counters aren't incremented and anything that hits rule #1 also hits rule #3.

The device has only been slightly configured. I entered static IP settings, pointed the device to use a local DNS and NTP server and nothing else of interest that I can think off.
Some additional info:

From what I can see all the conditions listed here are satisfied: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Fasttrack
Hardware acceleration is disabled on the port I'm using under "Bridge - Ports", otherwise traffic won't hit the firewall rules.
Fast forward is enabled on the bridge, disabling it doesn't make a difference.
L3 Hw offloading is disabled on the port I'm using under "Switch - Port", enabling it doesn't make a difference.
L3 Hw offloading is enabled under "Switch", disabling it doesn't make a difference.
Under "Switch - L3 Hw Settings" both "Fasttrack Hw" and "Supports Fasttrack Hw" are enabled.
Are there any additional details that I can provide?
EDIT: Thanks to @u1686_grawity for asking me to provide additional details. I was originally talking about port 48 on the switch, a PC is connected to this port. I'm checking speeds via a speedtest via internet. Traffic goes through port 1, where a router that provides internet access is connected. So now I set port 1 just like port 48 but nothing changes. These are 1Gbps copper ports that are on the same (the only one present) bridge, like all the other 46 ports of this kind.
