    Hi,

    This was initially posted to OCAU forum but due to lack of response I thought I'd see what people here have to say:

    kind of annoyed at the slow speed of suspend on my laptop and was curious what was the norm, so I want to invite people to post their suspend/resume times here, along with machine configuration (basic info and anything else you think might be pertinent).

    Machine: Lenovo t61p, quadro fx570, 1gb turbo memory (physically installed but disabled), 160gb 7200rpm seagate hdd
    OS: Vista Ultimate patched to current, hybrid sleep disabled
    Boot time: 58s from button press to prompt (5s of this is grub waiting for input)
    Suspend: 24s
    Resume from suspend: 2s
    Hibernate: 50s
    Resume from hibernate: 43s

    Machine: AS ABOVE (Lenovo t61p, quadro fx570, turbo memory (physically installed but disabled)), 160gb 7200rpm seagate hdd
    OS: Ubuntu 8.04 patched to current
    Suspend: 14s
    Resume from suspend: 2s
    Hibernate: 29s
    Resume from hibernate: does not resume

    As a reference, my old laptop (a Pentium-M) would suspend and resume within 5 seconds. The suspend times on the new laptop are kind of disappointing, especially compared to my old machine. I was wondering if it was vista or just an inherent t61p thing? (as for linux, acpi is always a coin-flip anyway and i have zero expectations here and am merely grateful my laptop does not burst into flame). As mentioned I have disabled the hybrid mode sleep.

    Template below feel free to remove any you don't have info on.

    In my experience Vista's hibernation time depends on how much RAM you have, plus the HDD speed. SuperFetch means that Vista uses all the available RAM and therefore needs to dump the whole of the RAM onto the HDD. Resume tends to be faster than hibernating because Vista can start before the SuperFetch files have been loaded.
