You need to do all disk IO to get the system state to disk. And then at resume, you need to do all disk IO to get the state from disk again. That's twice ;) This is compounded by the property that a hibernate tends to flush at least half the disk cache (it has to, to get space to work in), which you then need to page right back in, so even when you're back, the first minute or two sucks badly. I suspect you will always be able to boot faster than you can hibernate+resume. -- Arjan van de Ven Intel Open Source Technology Centre For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
