Then, you must also consider that some swap space could be already used when you hibernate. You need to have enough _free_ swap space. (It happened to me in the past to have to close some applications to fit the hibernation image into the available swap space, it's annoying,...) BTW, I'm not sure about compression; I remember a time when tuxonice supported compression (and saved cache), while the mainline hibernation did not have compression (and discarded cache).
