Probably tweaking the webpage doesnt help because people dont get there - as the results plainly show it. Maybe some more automation would be useful too, a tool that detects failed resume and tries all those options that makes sense on that box or something? It's not like that people dont _try_ suspend/resume on Linux, it's just that they find it doesnt work and there is no clear mortal-usable (end-user-) way of fixing it and submitting the result of that fixing.
