Hi,
got usable internet connection again. Downloaded the latest zip with 
image #12176 and with the VM inside the zip got:
3204 run, 3157 passes, 17 expected failures, 10 failures, 20 errors, 0 
unexpected passes.
The waiting is back again.
Took a fresh #12176, updated to #12235, same VM.
The wait was gone (thanks to whoever is responsible :-))
3222 run, 3176 passes, 18 expected failures, 7 failures, 21 errors, 0 
unexpected passes.
