Hi guys,

Key info:

2010 13-inch MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.7
256GB Apple SSD (177GB hard drive still available)
All software fully updated.
Onyx run on regular basis.

I am hoping someone can offer me some advice or suggestions. For several months my MBP and SSD has performed great. Recently, for no apparent reason, the shutdown time of my MBP has increased dramatically - from 2-3 secs to 20+ secs. To the best of my knowledge it has not happened after any particular software or hardware update.

I have MRoogled and Googled the problem extensively, but to no avail. I have tried all the possible solutions I have found - e.g. Checking startup items, checking the system log for errors / culprits, checking the Activity Monitor for CPU-intensive processes / applications, entering various sudo commands etc etc. Still no joy!

I am hoping that, at worst, the forthcoming Trim support in Lion will resolve the problem and keep my SSD running smooth, but in the meantime, I’d love to get my shutdown time back to 2-3 secs.

Any thoughts / ideas / experiences / suggestions / feedback would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!
