Macbook Pro SSD slow boot after SSD

Every since I installed Moutain Lion my macbook has had a really slow start up time.

Right before the Apple comes up on the boot screen there is a white screen that stays on for
46 seconds after that it boots up really fast.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook pro with 8GB of RAM and a Crucial 128 GB SSD.

Any ideas why I'm getting that white screen for so long?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Do NOT install Trim on a Crucial SSD !!!

It may cause issues in the SSD Controller.
