You can do all kinds of tricks with delay pools to kick the annoying
uses down to slow-speed trickles and spread the bandwidth around better.

If you can identify some criteria from the HTTP request which clearly
only occurs in the annoying traffic you can use delay_pool_access to
only place limitations on those requests.
