I guess you get faster hibernation if you don't need to write all of the memory state to disk, but still... Even then you only gain a little on core services startup. I'd infer that they have serious architectural issues if this saves them a lot of startup time. After all, hibernation (i.e. suspend to disk) means they need to re-start the kernel and drivers completely anyway. > Can the same be introduce in Linux kernel? > I'm sure it's possible. In fact, I think you can probably script it with a little help from consolekit/gnome or something like that. Mostly I don't see the point.
