I did a clean install of Lion and now my early 2009 MacBook Pro is so much slower, laggy, spinning color wheel ALL THE TIME.

I have a:
2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB Ram
Dual Raid 0 SSD's

Before with Snow Leopard the system was lighting fast. I upgraded as I wanted all the new features, even did a clean install for the added benefit and now with the same programs it is VERY obviously slower.

Am I missing something here or is this a common trend?

At this speed I need to upgrade laptop.

I will compare this in a few days with the new iMac I am waiting for delivery on. Kind of sucks to also have to upgrade the laptop now, talk about an expensive week of upgrades :(
