OK, this one my be my fault (I know, seems almost impossible). I use rEFIned as a helper for my booting needs and it was booting straight from the fedora system disk.
Now that I started from fedora’s grub, things looks different.

Also the 3 second application start lag is now gone. I do have some strange input lag in the browser, I’ll see what I can do about that. It just started after the last reboot, it was butter smooth up to that point.
