Just a data point -
Running 2.4.14-pre6 + preempt + a.m. low latency Hardware = PIII-933 on intel mobo, 512 MB Video = voodoo3 agp
I gave DRI a workout with several hours of wolfenstein network demo, then ran 40 min or so of dbench and then let normal services run through the night. The system remains smooth and responsive, no incidents in syslog.
So there may be specific driver bugs which are being invoked in your situation.
