I've complained about these messages on my old DLE at least 3 times.
Nobody ever helped.

I found that on my old DLE, the messages will stop if you unplug the
cable to the onboard fxp0 interface.  They seem to happen each time
the device interrupts the host.  These messages are a total DOS on a
server with a serial console, so I wouldn't be surprised if they
caused a perceptable slowdown on a box with a graphics head.

Good luck getting an ACPI developer interested in it.  I had no luck.
My advice is to just disable ACPI & forget about using it.
