Speedy Resume from Suspend

Blimey, that is pretty quick! I have never had much luck with suspend and resume on my own systems, it has always been a bit hit'n'miss. Although having said that, I tend to my systems running 24/7, so it is not a big issue. Still, it is good to know it works for you!

Yes, the suspend recovery is excellent - but one thing amazes and puzzles me even more, and that is that it has to suspend the computer into a different state than winXP does. Sometimes I don't use my eee901 for days, and with winXP booted and suspended it is usually dead and shuts off after 4 days. Under cruncheee I still have about 50% capacity left!

I was attributing it to winXP possibly leaving other things powered on that cruncheee might not. I will have to make sure, but one thing that always struck me as odd on the eee was that when I suspend the machine (at least under winXP - have to check #!) the USB ports are still powered on, because if I plug in my CDMA modem, it actually lights up even when the computer is still suspended. Considering that e.g. the webcam hangs on an internal USB, who knows what else might be drawing power that #! might disable!
