Issues with Containers and Bridges

I just recently discovered that I am having connectivity issues with both of my containers and network connectivity. I had been battling really slow webserver response times on my virtual machines, and then this reared it's ugly head this morning.

I have a Turnkey LAMP server running in a container, and when I ping it from a VM on the host, I get a large delay (700+ms) for the first ping, then <1ms from there on out. However, if I attempt to ping the machine from outside the host, I get no responses. Restarting the networking within the container seemed to help for a moment, but then after a few pings, it stopped responding again.

Any ideas what this might be?
 
I have had a similar issue, but its not that bad, I just get a fair bit of ping loss and time out's accessing the web administration. Also this message comes up a lot.

From looking around the net, it seems like it might be a faulty switch in my case.
 
What's interesting, and puzzles me a bit, is that the KVM's seem to do just fine. Every once-in-a-while I'll get a longer ping (5ms or so), but it's generally much better.

For the time being, I'm moving the web server to a KVM while I keep fiddling with the containers.
 
I've noticed a general trend of poor performance in containers. Queries that would take 11 seconds in the VM container are only taking 2 seconds as a KVM. I'm assuming this has something to do with OpenVZ and is kind of out of Proxmox's hands... But if anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.
