I just disabled auto create and auto update statistics. Lets see if it gets better on this wait. exec sp_MSforeachdb 'ALTER DATABASE [?] SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS OFF' exec sp_MSforeachdb 'ALTER DATABASE [?] SET AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS OFF WITH NO_WAIT'

I believe this occurs when SQL Server is committing a change to an Extended Event (Create or Alter). Spotlight uses Extended Events to monitor SQL Server and provide the information in the 'Wait Events' drilldown area. There is a know bug in SQL Server (KBKB2511963) that was supposed to fix the issue in SQL 2008 R2 SP2 CU8, but I'm still seeing it in SP3 :(
