MBP - VERY Slow to Awaken. What's wrong?

[Sal Collaziano]

When I'm finished working on my MBP, I just close the screen and it goes to sleep. Sometimes, when I open it up, the screen stays black and takes a LONG time to awaken.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? Sometimes it takes up to two full minutes to get the screen up where I can enter my password to view the desktop.

This happened to me before, if you have iStat Pro installed as a Widget in Dashboard, I suggest you remove it and see what happens.

I removed iStat Pro and everything was fine... installed it again and the problem continuted.

don't use istats

& I occasionally experience the same thing

haven't figured it out why it only happens sometimes

Oddly enough, I don't use iStatPro either...

same here

but it is random

sometimes it wakes up right after i open the lid

but sometimes

it can take like around 3 second or 5

I've noticed the same thing on my MBP. Sometimes it's excruciating waiting for it to wake back up.

The white macbook I bought for my grandmother never does this. It starts back up instantly.
