Have a macbook pro 15 early 2011, with i7, 4GB ram, 500GB, OS X 10.7.5 fully patched. After 5 10 minutes of it being up and running,it gets choppy, where the dock is very sluggish, programs open slow, and when you type it takes a long time to fill in. Any tips on where to look. Battery was just replaced and the heatsink was clean, it is not running hot.
