A single B/G wireless radio can not operate in both modes at the same time. If 802.11B is enabled, the entire radio will throttle down to the B mode once there is an 802.11B device associated. That means all other B/G devices in that footprint also need to throttle down to communicate with the access point. I suspect this is what is currently happening. You can also easily run into bandwidth problems if your AP density is very low, causing many devices to share access points.
Another factor that could contribute to this is QOS. If your VOIP vlan gets priority, than other devices are going to get diminished performance when VOIP uses large amounts of bandwidth. However, based on your description I would guess that the first scenario is more likely.
