Trackpad very slow and unresponsive on C2D MBP

I'll add my voice to the crowd. I, too, experience the delays in responsiveness. I haven't yet narrowed it down to just the trackpad. I experience the same symptoms (apparent unresponsiveness of the system) to ALSO working with the Finder (mouse cursor not responding).

I most frequently use a bluetooth mouse, so perhaps that is part of the cause. It is NOT only related to use of the trackpad.

The symptoms were apparent immediately after using this MBP (Core 2 Duo), 2.33GHz.

I've attempted to correlate the lack of responsiveness to a particular process (by watching Activity Monitor) but don't have the patience for too much of that.

I am using a mouse with my newly purchase C2D MBP and still from time to time, getting the non responsive frozen cursor. As far as I can tell, there appears to be no rhyme or reason to this. This is my second computer. First there was an odd low pitch beeping sound coming from the left side near speaker as well as the non responsive frozen cursor. Exchanged the computer for exact same model I have now. No longer have the beep but noticing lately there is still the non responsive frozen cursor problem I had with the original one. The Apple solution as far as disabling track pad really has no relavelance to the problem I am experiencing with my computer as well as I see from others in this discussion. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

This topic is not answered. I am still forced to use a bluetooth mouse as the trackpad on my $2700 laptop is intermittenly broken. I am going to soon replace the upper deck and trackpad (for the second time), but until I see that that it's fixed, this topic is open.

I can confirm this issue on a C1D MBP 17" 2.16 10.4.8

Issue for me: Activate something disk intensive (random) and cursor is frozen for 2-5 seconds. I just discovered that the center of the pad seems to release it. OW, I sit and wait, finger going in circles 😟

If ignore accidental trackpad input is checked, the issue occurs. If it is unchecked, it does not. BUT, with ignore accidental trackpad input unchecked, it is a nightmare typing with the wide trackpad sitting there waiting to screw things up.

Thus, IMHO, this is a driver issue. Esp. since activating the center of the pad seems to release the cursor.
