It's certainly a strong possibility - either your serial card can't keep
up, or the software is off somewhere ignoring interrupts for too long.

A quick test is to cut back the speed to 9600 baud and see if the problem
occurs less often.  If it is a proformance issue, you can either live with
the slower speed, upgrade to an intelligent (buffered) serial board or
perhaps upgrade the UART chip on your serial card.
