[Lvlug] 16 seconds from power up to operational system!!!

When playing around with 'Suspend' and 'Hibernate' I noticed
that both them powered down my desktop system. :-(

After the power on button was pressed, it took a full boot
up sequence for an operational system when 'Hibernate' was
used.

But when I powered up after using 'Suspend' it took 14 seconds
to get power to the display and 2 seconds later I had my full
system back the same as when I did the 'Suspend'. The only
issue was that Xchat had disconnected and just doing a
re-connect brought it back fine. Everything else was as I
left it.

So unless I need to do a real reboot to get a updated kernel
I'm sticking with doing a suspend from now on. I know that
work is being done to dynamically load a new kernel. But
until then I'll re-boot only when I'm updating a kernel.
