Hardware is Intel 82865G (integrated) with DRM i915 1.1.0 20040405 and
xorg-3.8.2 i810 driver, running at nice 0, priority 15. Should I bump the
priority up? To realtime?

Disabling the dri and drm modules didn't help. I'll turn on NoAccel when
I'm back in the office on Tuesday.

stability under realtime? It's been a couple years since I've used fb.
