Is it possible that in the last install you had reduced the number of processes on startup, and you just haven't done that with the 520?

Have you tried updating the firmware?

No, actually I've done MORE to optimize my install this time than I did last time in fact. It makes no sense. The only difference now is that before it was a single OS and now I'm dualbooting my Hackintosh install. They're on separate drives though, and the bootloader is on the Hackintosh drive (OCZ Vertex 3). Would that make a difference? Is this maybe an OS thing? Because after benchmarking both drives I can tell you the 520 is on par with the OCZ so I can't see what's causing it. It's driving me nuts though!

I had this same problem on my main rig with a 256GB Crucial M4 and a 240GB SanDisk Extreme. I did another image restore using Acronis Home True Image, and that did the trick. Something didn't go right before. I used to had to wait a couple of seconds, which feels like minutes, before seeing my desktop after logging in.
I've actually re-formatted this drive 3 times just to hopefully solve this issue. No dice. So you think a re-imaging would help? I'm not disputing that it might work, but would you know why?

Not sure why. Same thing with just a clean installation, something is clogging up that SSD's resources.I've actually re-formatted this drive 3 times just to hopefully solve this issue. No dice. So you think a re-imaging would help? I'm not disputing that it might work, but would you know why?
Try installing Intel SSD Toolbox. It's free to use with any Intel SSD. You can use it to update the firmware and optimize it.

I'd do a backup first just in case, but no, it's not supposed to be destructive IIRC.Can I update firmware on the OS drive while it's running? Will it wipe any data?
