1) How much hard? If, in game, you press the CTRL+F8 combo you will see the FPS count. I'm using MEP5 in a laptop too, and even with 20/30 FPS my experience of it is fine (no lag or choppines of the graphics).
2) Are you sure MEP5 it's the main/only culprit? Maybe there are some other mods that contribute to slow down things... If you post your JSGME active mod list I'm sure many subsimers here will be able to take a look at it and give you some advice, if it's the case...
For example:
I'm on a ASUS laptop, Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, with Intel Core Duo CPU T6500 @2.10 Ghz, I've 4 GB of RAM and I've a nVidia GeForce G102M (512 MB video memory) and I have the following mods:

And I make about 20+ FPS in port, and when I have burning ships in sight. In any other case I have some 40/60+ FPS. I'm happy enough
