Slow wake up after installing lion (Macbook Pro 2010)

Hi there,

After installing Lion, my Macbook Pro 15" takes a lot longer to wake up from sleep than before (taking 10 or more seconds, instead of 2 seconds in Snow Leopard).

Am I the only one seeing this? I did a normal install (upgrade from SL) from the Mac App store. RAM is 8 GB.

Thanks!

The simplest solution is just to change the delay before hibernation (vs. sleep): there are other articles in this support forum as well as here: http://www.ewal.net/2012/09/09/slow-wake-for-macbook-pro-retina/ -- note this is actually for all recent machines, not just Retina, as well as for both Lion & Mountain Lion.
