My computer is having an issue coming out of sleep every once in a while. It will take about 30 seconds for something to show on the screen and after that happens, sometimes the mouse is choppy and sometimes it isn't. I submitted a bug report to apple and they asked for my system profile so after I did that, they told me that some program was causing it.

After removing the program, it worked well for about a month and now its doing it again. How do I find out whats causing a problem for myself?
 
When this happens, open Console (Applications/Utilities). Look t console.log and system.log after this 30 second hiccup. What is showing there?
 
I think I may have found the problem. In the console, this came up:

Mar 26 17:19:34 Kaleb-2 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master): Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory
Mar 26 17:19:34 Kaleb-2 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master): Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory
Mar 26 17:19:35 Kaleb-2 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master): Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory

After a quick google, I found a website that had a forum and the guy had the same problem. heres the website for anyone intrested:

So, for some reason its still happening and this time I can't find anything on google about it. Here's the log about it.

Mar 30 11:39:08 Kaleb-2 kernel[0]: AirPort: Link Up on en1

Mar 30 11:39:28 Kaleb-2 kernel[0]: NVDA::setPowerState(0x485a400, 0 -> 2) timed out after 45133 ms

I know it has something to do with my airport card because if I disable it, it works but if I re-enable it its even worse.
