Really easy to setup.  Just look at the documentation and examples in 
/etc/shorewall/tos.
Newer versions of shorewall also allow you to use fwmark for marking packets 
destined for tc rules.  Just make sure that if you go that far that you turn 
on mangle_enable or something like that in the shorewall.conf file.

http will be more responsive.  As an example, I tested this out on my firewall 
(using ssh not http) when shorewall first offered tos.  I maxed out my cable 
modem connection with a few simultaneous downloads of some isos, then I 
opened up an ssh connection to a remote box.  I was able to interact with the 
remote box with no noticable lag at all.
