   Host marmot.wormnet.eu
     #DynamicForward localhost:1080
     LocalForward 127.0.0.1:8080 127.0.0.1:8080
     LocalForward 127.0.0.1:8081 127.0.0.1:8081
+Configure your browser on a slow connection to use localhost:8081 for HTTP, and HTTPS/everything else via localhost:8080.  Of course on a speedy connection, shovel everything through localhost:8080 (or use the built in SSH SOCKS5 support).
