The MacBooks also.
I should point out that this all happens after I shut the lid. So to a
degree it does not matter how long it takes to save to disc, because I
am not sitting around waiting for it to happen.
So:
shut lid
Mac runs hibernate disc write (sits with LED on steady still)
...then suspends (LED starts its slow "I'm asleep" pulse)
