(PM) frame relay troube ( cisco to portmaster )

I'm having some trouble with a few of my remote pop's who are attached to
our cisco through the frame-relay, almost 4 second pings. I have 2 types
of pop's, one in a local SWB frame cloud and another in a remote SWB frame
cloud ( they are bridged by SWB - port to port, and it is to be transparent
to us ).

We increased the bandwidth between the 2 clouds, and now we are having
extreamly slow access to the remote cloud. Every remote pop ( there are 6
of them ) has about a 20% packet loss and about a 4 second ping.

We have a cisco 2501 ( to be replace today with a 3640 ) and at the remote
sites are livingston PM2-ER's ( version 3.3.3 and 3.7.2 ). Everything has
been running fine for the last year and now this. I think it is a SWB
problem, but they say they are not discarding any packets and are not
seeing any CRC errors on the local loops.

Below are some snips of the config's. If you need anything else please let
me know.
