Controlling leeches with mod_throttle

Does anyone know of a good mod_throttle setup to prevent people with an "offline browser" from hitting a site too hard? I tried playing with ThrottleClientIP using the Idle policy but it would slow down image loading for almost everyone.

I think some combination of ThrottleClientIP with the Document policy might work. Basically I want to allow normal users to surf as quickly as they'd like but some people hit my site with HTTrack and the like and since the pages are dynamically generated it bring the machine to a crawl.
