Q: Macbook Pro takes long time to wake from sleep

Hi, I have recently purchased the latest Macbook Pro (Mid-2012, not the Retina display version), and I've noticed if the Macbook is left switched on, with the lid down and not plugged into the mains, it will take a long time to wake from sleep. I've looked for similar posts, and everyone describes it as a long delay, but for me the screen is greyed out (but transparent) and a process bar appears, which fills up and then the display loads properly, but it takes a further 30-50 seconds to activate things like the mouse and wifi etc (it feels like it has completely frozen).

 

Has anyone experienced this and is it normal? I looked up standby mode, but am led to believe this is only with the retina display models, so am a bit worried.

Macbook alluminium, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
