Howdy, I have a mid 2010 13 inch Macbook Pro 7,1 running 10.10.5 and I have replaced the stock 5400 rpm drive with a Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 480GB SSD:

I got Trim Enabler running and did all of the optimization/upkeep I've seen recommended online with a little googling (like disabling the sleep image, doing the noatime thing, and setting up RAM disks for temporary files).
Even still, while the page above lists the drives max speeds as 540 MB/s read and 460 MB/s write, I'm only getting 200MB/s read and write. (I also know not to run too many benchmarks since it's not good for the health of the drive. That's what I've gotten most recently though.)
While still way better than what was probably less than 50MBps on the HDD, I'm curious as to why I'm only getting less than half the max of the SSD. Is it bottlenecked by my old processor, or some other hardware? (That seems unlikely but who knows.) Or is there something I can do about it?
The tease of potentially halving my boot time and load times for applications (especially bigger ones like sibelius and garageband) is almost torture
Thanks for any help!
