Playing Code: JIE on a GALAX H310M Warrior D4, but the IO response is lagging under load. am I hitting some weird throughput bottleneck?

Looking at report #3310 on Win10, HWinfo logs recorded interface latency flickering between 11.5ms and 15ms; it actually hit a peak that caused some of my peripherals to disconnect completely. I entered the BIOS advanced USB settings and forced all ports into High-Energy mode, then ran a full link precision scan using the proprietary calibration tool. After the audit, the latency in HWinfo dropped to a rock steady 3.8ms - 4.4ms range, with a precision mark of 98.2%. Everything is finally responsive and the throughput is clear. However, this low-latency state has a hidden cost: it bumps up the standby power draw of the Southbridge. If you touch the bottom of the motherboard after a long session, it's noticeably hotter than it used to be, which is a bit concerning.
