I had this problem last week after upgrading to a newer 5.4-STABLE.
The problem looked like an IRQ problem since both bge interfaces were
sharing the same IRQ. The problem went away after disabling hyper
threading in bios.

The box is a dual XEON so I had enabled SMP. SMP works fine, but HTT
was causing the bge timeouts and system load to be 10x higher than
normal.

Ben.
