You might be able to get creative using lesser known iptables
capabilities such as 'mark' and 'owner' to classify traffic by uid.
I've managed to set up a traffic shaper to put any traffic by users in
the "slownet" group into a lower priority queue before, so I know this
is possible.

It probably doesn't help with apache though, unless you run an
instance of apache for each user, and even then they'd have to be on
different IP addresses or ports.  Other server processes might suffer
the same problem.  Everything tends to run as either root or nobody.
