Is the link clean if you "flood ping" it?  Send out 1500 byte packets
"back to back"?  Like running multiple 

cisco(enable)# ping $remote size 1500 repeat 1000

in parallel...

It *could* be a duplex issue (one part of the overall link being half-
duplex and its peer side being full-duplex).  Or some component being
flakey when more than a few packets are seen.
