Ahh.. indeed, changing the burst size to 64 bytes (from the default 128) makes a big difference on my ultra5, thanks for the hint. Does it make any sense to differentiate between platforms, or is 64 a good all-around value?
Jeff and I want to add some pci_optimal_burst_size() or whatever interface so that drivers don't get stuffed with ifdefs, but for now use CONFIG_SPARC64 for this :-) I think on Alpha a similar situation exists and you should use 128 instead of 64 there.
