Seems as if one of the device drivers has problems with
>= 4GB DMA physical addresses?  

Another idea is that the BIOS doesn't propertly configure
the cpu's cache (MTRR registers), and physical memory
above 4 GB remains uncached, resulting in a massive 
slow down when that memory is used[*].  Maybe a BIOS
upgrade helps?
