Just use delay pools, and set the initial bucket size to the max object
size you don't want to limit. This will have the added benefit of
preventing someone from circumventing your reply_body_max_size slowdown
by grabbing lots of little bits of a large file.

delay pools 1
delay_class 1 2
delay_access 1 allow all
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 1048576/32000 # The first MByte of non-cached
traffic is delay free, and the bucket refills at 256kbps.
