If it is mouse lag for your entire computer try system preferences>mouse>tracking speed. It usually is set pretty slow when you first plug in a new mouse. Hope it helps!

any pb with ram ? or some process that ♥♥♥♥♥ up with the whole thing. To check your processor consumption go to applications/monitor, there may be some abusive application.

My experience is, with macbookpro 2.3 Ghz and 16Go ram 1600Mhz, I had yesterday 10% ram activity remaining free, although no application was opened. I then ran memory clean and it went back well.

To free your ram, go to apple store and install "memory clean", allow it then to open at session start, run it, it should prevent any abuse from application on ram, go back to tell if it works then.
