PowerConnect 3248 latency and errors

I'm seeing latency times on a ping test on this switch as high 120ms on local network and it is under almost no load (similar devices and servers are <1ms).  Any ideas to fix?
 
I'm also seeing high Internal MAC Receive Errors if that helps at all.

    I just read this post reguarding icmp priority http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=pc_managed&message.id=366&query.id=113120#M366

    That does answer part of my question.  But I guess now I'm a little concerned with the mac errors.

    Are each of the ports on the switch configured for the deault auto-negotiate? Are the clients connected to the switch also configured for auto-negotiate? I would start their as that is the more common issue.

    PS.

    Forgot to ask/mention if that clients experiencing the problems are nearing the distance limit of the cable runs, interference in any of the runs or sloppy punch down of the jacks or panel could also cause these prboblems to an extent. All things to look at.
