jeff,

at a previous employer, all the cisco 3750/3560 switches were scrapped
and replaced with 4948s or f10 s50n.  the f10 had one of the worst
ncurses interfaces i've seen (but, now that they run sftos, the cli is
markedly improved).  the buffer sizes on the small form-factor cisco
switches are too small for anything but a quiet office lan.  the
exception is the 4948.

as others have mentioned, you can play with mls qos/buffer tuning,
but, i personally would recommend planning an upgrade to something
that is more capable.
