    Does anyone else have the problem where your E1705 (or any computer for that matter) is way slower after resuming from standby? An example of what I'm talking about: before standby, FEAR Combat gets about 50fps; but after, 8. Also, it takes a rediculus ammount of time for Bluetooth devices to reconnect after standby: the laptop makes the disconnect/reconnect bell noise about twelve times in rapid succession after waking. Any thoughts?

    Check for excessive disk activity as a clue to the source .

    Yeah I thought that might be it, too, then the disk activity eventually stops, but the computer never catches up until I reboot.
