Another possibility is just setting up plain old TOS. I use shorewall as my firewall and I have interactive protocols such as ssh set up for "Minimize-Delay (16)" and bandwidth intensive ones such as ftp-date set to "Maximize-Throughput (8)". You could do much the same thing, substituting http for ssh (or in addition to).
I use Shorewall as well, and I'm sure I can easily figure out how to set that kind of thing up. What kind of an effect would you expect to see? Should web browsing be noticeably quicker, i.e. get some priority over the FTP data transfers?
Of course I'll go check out all the other stuff, but this seems like a quick and easy first step.
