The number of broadcasts there shouldn't be an issue. It works out to about 12 broadcasts/sec which is pretty low. What I see that is a concern is the number of output errors. The number of collisions there isn't that bad so I don't know why you're getting that error. However, that error is a very low priority message so it's not really an error, just a notification of a potential problem.
I'd do some research to find out what's causing those output errors. Somewhere on CCO is a good page on ethernet troubleshooting. I don't have it bookmarked or I would include it here.

This port is configured as half duplex and connects to a Cisco 3548 switch. What also bothers me is the number of broadcasts here.. - is this not too high?? The point here is that users are complaining about slow response times - >From my pings etc, things seem to be fine.
