Ok will try it.

Yes, i have two non-sharing queues(*) now, too. I mark the packets in 
PREROUTING, so i can classify them to the appropiate queue in postrouting.

The rules up there are just examples.

I need RETURN, because i have overlapping rules, so packets would be 
classified twice (the second classify will be the valid, isn't it?).
Like:
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp --syn 
-m length --length 40:68 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:9
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp --syn 
-m length --length 40:68 -j RETURN
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp --dport 
22 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:10
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp --dport 
22 -j RETURN

Is this a stupid way to do this? I get this from the LARTC howto :)

"We have done a -j RETURN so packets don't traverse all rules"

Thanks, for the clarifying!
