How to install Mountain Lion from scratch (not from Mac App store)

[mac98aop]

I read a lot that says doing so, ensures a clean install and best performance. I really don't want it to make my MBP early 2011 lag (Lion did a wee bit over SL).

Any ideas on how I do it? I run TimeMachine to an external drive, so will it be an easy backup to that, then download the ML to a USB drive and run the installer from that?

Any help greatly appreciated! BUT, if you think it won't impact peformance and I should just update, please do say!

Any other first impressions?

I'd say just update, it's not affected the performance of my MBP in the slightest, it feels a lot faster.

Just do a time machine backup first!

I've found Aperture to be much faster at launching since installing ML and I'm still on the version released just before ML. Nice.

thanks Sam.... is your MBP as 'old' as mine - things seem to have come a long way since 'early 2011'... and what is a lot faster? animation lag? boot times etc, just general smoothness?

thanks
