Ah ok, I found the SYN flood example in the HOWTO. :) But that seems to work by dropping packets rather than queueing them, which is not so good if your bandwidth is very limited (modem dialup).
On the contrary, a well behaved traffic stream adapts to the speed of the weakest link. Dropping packets in a TCP stream will cause the sender to slow down. This is how TCP works! (Well, it really starts at a slow rate and accelerates until packets disappear, and then the connection slows down again.) I the real world, it should work like a charm.
