(maybe not the thing you're looking for, but IHMO the best solution) If you have a spare machine (can be a 486), you can install FreeBSD with dummynet (trafficshaper) there and simply enter the IPs of the machines you would like to slow down (dummynet can even create random packet loss or latencies etc. :-))
Of course the machine needs 2 network interfaces and is basically a single point of failure... but it's cheap :-) If you have 2 machines, you can put them both in and configure them as bridges - then your single point of failure is gone and you have a nice trafficshaper-solution, which can even be used as a stateful firewall to protect the hosts attached to that switch...
