poor performance after wake from sleep in Lion

I have problem with wake up from sleep.

when i just use my mac, it works normaly

but after wake from sleep, graphic performance

down to about half.

for example i got 70 fps around. in WOW.

after wake, it drops to 20 fps around.

Cinebench 11.5 shows 16fps after wake.

but 30 fps from first reboot condition.

Mac is 2008 2.8 octacore with Radeon 5770

lion looks heavy than SL. more heavy feeling to

click something. it reacting bit slowly than SL

and this made feel heavy. please fix this problems.

My video issues only seem to occur after waking from Safe Sleep - and my MBP is equipped only with integrated Intel graphics. So if these issues are related - the degraded performance and video artifacts after waking from sleep - they may not be confined to ATI cards.

Has anyone checked to confirm that the switch from integrated to discrete graphics is happening properly? Maybe the graphics card switching isn't firing right. That would certainly explain lousy framerates in WOW.

For those of us with integrated graphics only, is there anyone else out there experienceing the issues I am?

Have the same issue on Mac Pro 2008 octa with Radeon 5770. Filed a bug report, got reply from Apple this is a known issue. I hope they are busy fixing it.

10.7.1 is out. Can anyone confirm has the issue been fixed there?

ok, i trashed lion.

not only performance after wake problem but entier heavy than SL.

not saying for some kind of bug. it could be. but...

days by days apple just looks concern with good looking UI without optimization.

and i'm tired to try to match this pressure.

I'm seriously considering reinstalling SL. The issue persist on 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 so we'll have no solution until 10.7.3... considering that 10.7.2 will not come until fall, do we have to wait until 10.7.3 on Nov-Dec for a fix??? OMG!

I've decided, I return to SL.

Aug 18, 2011 5:07 AM in response to macreal

I'm also continuing to experience major performance drop in 10.7.1. Especially when working in full screen apps such as iPhoto. I would be more than happy to return to SL, but what about all the apps I updated and the files I've added in the meantime (songs in iTunes, photos in iPhoto, etc.)?

Aug 18, 2011 7:20 AM in response to ViktorCode

10.7.1 also did not fix the issue on my early 2008 iMac (ATI Radeon HD 2400, 2GB, Core 2 Duo). Man, what a disappointment! Come on Apple, do something about this, or I will buy a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and will tell everyone that it is great and far better than the iPad.

Aug 18, 2011 7:34 AM in response to macreal

Ok guys, since 10.7.1 didn't fixed this issue and we want Apple to take a note, please all go to bugreport.apple.com and file your reports. After a while there will be reply saying this is a known bug, but we will provide Apple with the info on more hardware platforms affected.

Reporting a bug helps. Having a tantrum doesn't.

The freezing problem with 2011 iMac seems to be solved in 10.7.1 but all the 2008 iMac persists!! let's bugreport.apple.com if we don't want to be forgotten!!

Aug 18, 2011 10:43 AM in response to raulcab

Same here.

It appears that bugreport.apple.com is exclusively for developers.

You're right, that's for developers, try this: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
