macbook pro choppy / laggy scrolling after wakeup

As long as the MacBook is running after Boot UI is behaving smooth,

but after MacBook went to sleep and wakes up again UI is very choppy or laggy when scrolling WebPages (all Browsers) or moving Windows.

Only way to get smooth scrolling back is to restart the MacBook


I've got a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 (MacBookPro5,3) and using Mountain Lion actually.


With Snow Leopard i haven't had these Problems

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Such problems appear when upgrading a somewhat old machine to a modern OS. New operating systems demand powerful hardware to run them.


Try go to 'System Preferences' app, then to 'Sharing'; disable the option 'Screen Sharing'. Make sure its status turns to off. Restart your machine.


Disabling some of the OS features that you might not use saves processing power, this solves such problems.


Sincerely.
