on machines these days?
you can guess how long it takes dump 16 GB to disk and load
it compared with a full boot between 10 and 30 seconds (30
seconds with a LOT of services like mail, www, mysql...)
If you do a fresh boot you lose your current state....and that is
valuable. So hibernate (for long periods of down time, for example for a
long flight) is very useful.
