What people want is to be able to restore application state.
Hmm, careful. There are a bunch of people who use suspend2 exactly because it saves and restores the page cache, leaving the system in a usable state without waiting for the universe to swap back in from disk. It makes a big difference on older laptops with slow drives. While the other advantages you list for process cryogenics are pretty neat, let's remember that the 99% use case for STD is laptops. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
