Macbook pro extremely laggy after ram and ssd upgrade

My Macbook pro early 2011 is running extremely slowly even after ram upgrade and new ssd with clean install of OS X.

I have a new Crucial MX200 250gb ssd installed and 16gb crucial ram.

I have ran an etre check an copied the results below.

I have made sure not to encrypt the ssd, reset PRAM and SMC.

I'm really struggling to use the laptop, huge lags when using any application, even just google searching.

I have the same exact problem you do. I upgraded to a Crucial 500 GB SSD and put in 16 GB's of Crucial memory. I had a Mac technician wipe the hard drive clean and install a brand new OS on it. However, I'm still experiencing lags and latency issues. The Mac tech can't figure it out either.


Question: Did you ever figure this problem out yet?
