Interestingly, OS X has the fastest resume from suspend I've ever seen. I'll see if this beats it.

- Mikeb85 13y agoMust be pretty quick because Ubuntu resumes before I can fully open my laptop lid...
- contingencies 13y agoI was going to post the same. Gentoo + Linux 3.14 + ZFS + dual SSDs + Macbook Pro 17" hardware (~2010). Theory: Hardware subsystems on MBPs may have relatively strong power up speeds versus some other laptops.
- AndrewDucker 13y agoAs the slowdown is waiting for the disk to spin up, anything with an SSD will restart faster than something without...
- XorNot 13y agoDo you have hibernate working on that setup or just resume? ZoL is great, but not having hibernate is a killer.
- contingencies 13y agoWhatever pm-suspend is. Works great for me.
- keithpeter 13y agoDebian SID: not quite so fast but certainly close. Thinkpad X00s. keith@mocha:~$ uname -a Linux mocha 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.7-1 (2014-03-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux
- bananas 13y agoLucky you. Mine manages to hang before I can fully open my laptop lid! (12.04 LTS). Reverted to windows and using Linux in a VM.
- tonyarkles 13y agoLenovo T400 here with 12.04 LTS, have a similar problem. Using the instructions from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T400#SUSPEND-RESUME https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T400#SU... I managed to reduce it from about 1-in-3 to 1-in-10, but it's still not ideal.
- Adaptive 13y agoI use both OS X and Linux daily, each on laptops and I would have agreed with you until recently. On 3.12-3.14 my resume times on have gone from slower than OS X to at least as fast, sometimes apparently faster, than the same OS X laptop. This is a pure btrfs, gnome, arch linux install. Old hardware (Thinkpad x220). Notably OS X still brings networking back up faster, but that is in the pipeline already for Linux.
- Scramblejams 13y ago"...that is in the pipeline already for Linux." Would you have a link to this?

- josteink 13y agoI recommend moving past this blog-fluff and going directly to the Google+ announcement[1]. Quite impressive improvements. Can't wait until this goes live on normal distros.

- zabcik 13y agoIs btrfs stable with hibernate now? The last couple of times I used it, it crashed on me.
- Adaptive 13y agoI had a couple problems requiring a btrfsck, specifically related to google-chrome cache directories. Never had it since. I use btrfs snapshotting a lot (for convenient system rollback). I definitely am not running btrfs on a production machine, but I love it on this laptop. Wouldn't call it stable yet. edit to note that I don't hibernate, just sleep.
- frozenport 13y agoWas it because your macbook pro has an SSD?
- josteink 13y agoI got curious about this as well. The data presented shows resume times like nothing I have experienced in years. I'm guessing that if you already have a SSD-enabled laptop, the improvements wont be that noticable. Still: Good to see more and more subsystems moving to parallel/async initialization. Every measure counts, and together I'm certain they do add up.
- sunshinerag 13y agoOSX > Linux. Love it
- kryptiskt 13y agoOne thing I hate with my Mac is the window dressing they do, they show the screen as it was before it's actually usable to give an impression of faster resume than it really has.
- asdfaoeu 13y agoI've notice this too. The lock screen shows before it can accept key presses so I've had to wait else having it miss the beginning of my passphrase.
- neolefty 13y agoIt's good as an interface, I think, because the human also requires some startup time -- if you can see what the screen looks like before it is interactive, you can orient yourself while the machine finishes reactivating.
- ithkuil 13y agoIndeed it's a very good thing, especially if the actual resume can happen in that time span. Sometimes it's frustrating since it looks like frozen. Sometimes it's misleading, e.g. when you see that you didn't get an email or a IM notification, and then you realize it's because your e-mail/IM app is not really running yet. Or when you take a quick glance to the wifi indicator and see that there are many bars and then you go away assuming there is connectivity but when it actually awakes you are not really online.
- asperous 13y agoApple does this with iPad as well, showing a screenshot of a previously used app before the app is re-loaded into memory.
- olalonde 13y agoHate? I like this feature for 2 reasons: the clock shows the time at which the computer suspended (gives me an indication of how many hours I've been asleep on the keyboard :)) and if I was reading something, I can keep reading it while the OS loads.

- peedy 13y agoIn my experience it is the other way round. I run Linux 3.13 on Macbook pro (Early 2011). OSX takes 2~4 seconds, linux takes ~1 second.
