airplay mirroring not fast enough on mac, but works on iPad/iphone, what is wrong???

I bought a new mac in Feb and its currently running Mntn Lion, and I have a 2nd Gen apple tv. I have 40plus Mbps and all three devices are in the same room (router, mac, Atv). The airplay mirroring works great on my iphone 4s and The new Ipad, but not on the mac. When I choose airplay mirroring it takes like 30 seconds for it to appear on my apple TV and it updates a new frame like every 15-30 seconds.. its horrible! WHat is wrong??? please help because college football season is starting and I watch most of my games online!!

AppleTV 2, iOS 5.1.1

Check istumbler for interference. Minimize other network activity.

It seems to pull everything from my mac just fine.. apple tv never has a glitch.. airplay works perfectly. I actually had a a developers copy of Mnt Lion before the release and Mirroring worked perfeclty. since downloading Mountain Lion, I can only get sound sometimes and frames of videos. We moved since then and I do have a new wireless router (a better one) but I cant understand that air play works on my mac and mirroring from my ipad work just fine. The mac is about 12 ft from the router and the router is 5 feet away from the apple TV (a working triangle.. and when we use the ipad to mirror we are the same distance as the mac is.

driving me nuts. everything is updated and there arnt any electronics in between the 3... should I reinstal Mountain Lion?

As iPad is mirroring ok, even with the introduction of a new router, that does seem strange. I don't have access to ML mirroring to test. I assume you've tried reboots so yes if all else fails you can try a reinstall.

Know what? I think this is a matter of processor speed. I have the same problem with my 3rd-gen ATV and Late-2011 13-inch MBPro (w. M. Lion). My iPad2 and iPhone4 works great.
