MBP kind of slow to log on after I open lid

[sniffs]

So I've noticed something.. first couple weeks I had my MBP, when I'd open my lid, I was instantly able to log in and navigate.

overtime, now it seems when I open the lid, put in my PW nothing happens for a good 10 seconds.. then after I put in my PW, I can't click anything, dockbar doesn't lift up(hidden), right/left click aren't working, yet I can move the mouse. The only way to fix this is to close lid and reopen and then magically it works.

Any ideas of what could be causing this?

mid-2012 MBP, Crucial M4 256GB SSD and Crucial 16GB ram

This is very often a sign the SSD is failing. I'd back it up to be sure.

Hmm.. the SSD is like a month old.

I do make daily backups of my stuff.. that sucks if it fails.

Would running the Time Machine backup hourly cause the SSD to wear out sooner?

Erv Walter published an article on why it takes about 10 seconds after the lids open to accept input.

That should fix the issue where you have to wait a little when opening the lid. Let me know if it works for you.

Ooo.. nice.. that's exactly what I was experiencing.

I've set it to 24 hours just as that blogger did.. here's to hoping!

Remember to restart the system once so that it can take effect.
