I've recently upgraded my laptop's internal hard drive from a 160GB to 1TB drive. I cloned the drive, then installed it. The general system performance seems appreciably slower. In particular application launches seem to take much longer. Is this possible, or am I just expecting too much from the new drive?

It's running a Macbook Pro which is a couple of years old. Any ideas?

160 GB  7MB cache  5400 rpm    NCQ  (Hitachi HTS545016B9SA02) -- original drive
1   TB  8MB cache  5400 rpm  SATA300  NCQ  (Western Digital WD10TPVT-00HT5T0)
