Hello Kai-Heng and Aaron,
I a bit confused. In our previous conversation you told ME not running. 
let me shimming in. Increasing delay won't be solve the problem and just 
mask it. We need to understand why ME take too much time. What is 
problem with this specific system?
So, basically no ME system should works for you.

Meanwhile I prefer keep DMI quirk.
Thanks,
Sasha
