Hi,
my Macbook Pro 2011 13" often freezes for about 20 seconds right after I open the lid. Mouse and keyboard are unresponsive, caps lock light does light up.
If I reboot it doesn't happen for a few times, but then after 3 - 4 times it starts doing it again. Not everytime though, more like 75%. Anybody else expierencing this? Doesn't sound like a hardware problem to me, since it's not happening consistently and the caps lock light still responds.

Disconnect all devices from your computer when troubleshooting if you have not already done so.
Check your login items. Delete or disable all you do not need or want.
System Preferences>Accounts>Unlock the padlock>Login Items. Lock the padlock when done.
Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.

Thanks. There are no devices connected. I did repair permissions from within OSX, didn't try from the install DVD yet. Will do.
Do NOT repair permissions from the install DVD. My instructions were for you to run "Repair Disk."
I've just verified and repaired the disk. Verifcation said the disk looked OK, so I'm not sure if it will help. I'll see if it'll improve, thanks for your help so far.
Unfortunately the problem is back. I've had to restart a few times this week so it didn't happen again until yesterday. My uptime is 5 days now, and sice yesterday evening every time I open the lid it freezes for 10-20 seconds. If I reboot now, it probably won't happen for the next few days again...
I have the exact same issue. I know that it's not the hardware since I am the IT guy and I exchanged it for another identical new macbook pro. 10-20 seconds when I open (wake) the macbook. I have ruled out Firefox as some have suggested on other forums. I did use migration assistant from a 10.5.8 macbook. I'm curious if you used MI also? There are others having this issue. Hopefully an update will cure us!
BTW, I noticed it seems to occur more often when I open the macbook in a room with a difference in lighting. I did try to uncheck Automatically adjust brightness but it didn't help either.
Seems that Mcaffee defender was the culprit
20 second freeze on wake up
