Hi. Given the amount of ram, processor speed, and the ssd, you should be having no issues even with intensive multi tasking.
Have you ran any diagnostic utilities? If so, has anything come up? I did have a stock mac book pro with an ssd develop an issue and it turned out to be the ssd although it's rare that they have issues. The apple store I had it repaired through said they never see issues with their ssds. I guess I was the unlucky one! Cameron.
