What graphic driver do you use? What version of the I-pipe patch? If
Intel, ipipe-core-3.8.13-x86-4.patch contains a fix for latency issues
observed on this hardware.

Yes, this happens from time to time, and a "generic" workaround is even
in our troubleshooting guide:

Because the count of overruns is cumulative, as are all the counters
after the count of overruns (msw, lat best, lat worst). When you have
observed overruns, you usually want the information to stick, so that
you see it when you stop the test.
