Any disk IO appears to make the wait go up excessively.
Ok, after some false leads, still having problems. e.g. after bios update, the bios gets upset that CPU fan is spinning slower then expected (around 400RPM); it is a large fan with large heat sink with no signs of dust or damage, it spins freely and continues spinning for a while, so I think the BIOS threshold is too low and the fan is ok.
Cheat a bit and plug another (faster) fan into the CPU fan socket and feed the original fan from elsewhere. That will sort out if it is the bios invoking a throttle. Cold days are disappearing fast!
