    I get about 11-15. It takes some time for some reason. Sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds (but at least it does it)

    The more programs your running, the longer it will take to put to sleep. Probably because windows has to temporarily freeze/save the current programs your running for a quick wake-up call

    Yeah, probably. I just reinstalled and have to take the time to find all the useless programs.
