I am running a MBP 13" i5, 128 gb apple SSD, 8 gb OCZ RAM, lion with all updates

i notice my computer when i open the lid, it will freeze for 1-2 seconds before I can move the cursor around. It is just a little annoying if anything because my dinky windows 7 based netbook is super speedy and doesnt have the same issue. I am wondering if anyone else can report similar experiences or if I am alone and if this might suggest some problems that I should get checked out?

thanks!
 
After I updated from SL to Lion, I had 1-2 seconds of beach balling on every start and awakening. I installed a SSD and also did a fresh install of Lion. Now, I have no pause or beach balling. I agree that it makes the Mac experience a bit tainted.
 
my mac does this as well. i was curious about this so i went to the apple store and notice all the other 13 inch does it also. as well as the 11 inch airs and the 13 inch airs.

the 15 and 17 inch doesn't do it. perhaps it has something to do with the hardware.

i have 256 gb m4 crucial ssd and 8 gb upgraded ram and it still does it. i reinstalled the original mechanical hard drive with a fresh install of lion and it still does it.
 
My 2008 Macbook does this too since upgrading to Lion, I don't notice it on my 2009 MBP though. I attribute it to Lion's resume feature.

before installing the SSD, my early 13 inch doesnt have problem with snow leopard, and after installed m4, it has this problem. Not so sure if its lion's problem or SSD's

It's not a problem. It's a simple, brief, normal delay, which doesn't indicate the presence of any problem.
 
Mine does, but it really doesn't bother me....it's only a few seconds (and my wifi takes like a minute to connect)
 
I'm pretty sure it's Lion because i had both 2010 and 2011 with SL and it never showed untill i installed Lion, happens on both machine. And both i had the 128gb M4 Crucial SSD. It's not much of a problem more or less a nuisance.
 
Late 2011 2.5GHz i7 15" - No
Mid 2011 2.0GHz i7 15" - No
Mid 2010 2.4GHz i5 15" - Yes
Mid 2009 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo 13" - Yes

I'm guessing Apple was able to resolve this on the newer models that come preloaded with Lion, based on the experiences of myself and other responses in this thread.
