Seems like the OS should be able to store only the active working memory and silently discard stuff like disk cache when hibernating, so the hibernate would only be slow if you really had the machine seriously loaded up with work. Maybe if you're doing heavy duty video editing? Or VMs I guess.
I wish I had more trust in laptops to properly handle putting itself into S2 when I close the lid, and then after 30 minutes (or if the battery gets low) go down into S3. But I've seen far too many laptops just fail to properly suspend for whatever reason.
- binkHN 3y agoOn my aging Windows ThinkPad with 32GB of RAM, my hiberfil.sys is ~12GB, so you would be correct. As for S2 moving to S3, this is similar to how I’ve been using the system for years; close the lid and I get S2 or S3 (haven’t looked to see which one)—if the battery charge hits a certain level, the system moves to S4/hibernates.
