I have a late 2010 MBP 13''. I remember when I got it would boot really quickly. With time it got to boot slower and slower. I thought this was okay because my HDD was getting full.
But today I did a clean install of Lion and the boot time is atrocious. It takes about 2 minutes on a clean install.
Plus now, my battery life is real crappy (about 4-5 hours standard usage, versus 7-8 before).
Does that seem to be common with Lion?
-
Clean install as deleting the partition? If you did not thoroughly wipe it using a program like DBAN (Dariks Boot and Nuke) there may have been left over files.

Of course the files are still there, it's a quick format. If that's causing a performance issue on OS X, I think I'll call Apple and ask them why Lion is "the most advanced OS".
Windows' been playing fine with this for 10 years. -
need to do some tests on your machine... something could be wrong. That is normal, or expected...
-
You mentioned that your hard drive was getting full. How much free space do you have?
