So far, yeah. I will try and narrow it down.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Note - I suspect some of the other cases
may really be delays rather than hangs too. It's very easy to look at
the screen sitting there doing absolutely nothing at all for 30-60
seconds, lose patience, conclude it's hung, and force a shutdown/reboot.
Several of the earlier Z1 reporters on the vaio-z mailing list reported
it as a 'hang', but after I pointed out that it wasn't, confirmed the
same behaviour on their systems. This could possibly apply to others
too.
