I have a June 2012 Macbook pro (15 inch base model-nonretina). Apps take ridiculously long to open in OSX (Mountain Lion). When I use bootcamp to go into Windows 7, however, my computer is fast, apps open quickly, and games run on high. It doesn't matter what app I try to open; even system preferences takes a good 20-30 seconds to open in OSX. I shouldn't have to buy an SSD when my old 2006 HP Pavilion performed better than this. I noticed this even the first time I turned it on. I don't have many apps installed, either. I use ccleaner on a regular basis. I purchased this in August 2012 from MacMall. Nothing seems to help at all. Any suggestions are appreciated.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
