    This looks like the system isn't processing interrupts from network card
    fast enough. Try running 'systat -vm' and see if '%Intr' is high.

    I'm not familiar with particular network card you're using, but try to check
    if with some Intel 100Mbps card you get better performance.

    If your syslog traffic load is always high, it doesn't matter how large buffers
    you make - at some point they will be filled up if system can't cope with
    such amount of traffic.

    Kind regards,
