perhaps some program is periodically hitting the internet for sync, strangling your bandwidth and/cpu cycles?

Try turning off everything that might be accessing internet/storage unnecessary, such as Google Drive, One Drive, Drop Box, etc...

You can suspend/end task everything that you are unsure of in task manager....(one or two at a time if you wish to retest for success on 5 min lagouts..)
