I guess you have a very small kernel buffer and are generating unusually
high amounts of messages? Is there a reason you cannot use a larger
buffer?

Or maybe you are generating a constant amount of messages that a serial
port could never keep up with unless it was interfering with the system
in such a way as to slow everything down? This is exactly what printk
should _not_ be used for.
