These are usually PCI retry problems. Those happen when the graphics
driver sends data to the card when there is not room in the fifo. In that
case a PCI disconnect occurs and the bus retries sending the data
until there is room again. This has a distruptive effect on the
performance of other cards using the PCI bus. I don't know if this
is what is happening with the Savage driver, but what I described
is the typical cause.
