Slow Resume After suspend having chrome running with many tabs

I usually use chrome and Firefox for browsing. I also open many tabs (around 40 in both some times).

The problem I have occurs when I resume the PC after having suspended it: It takes from 2 to 5 minutes sometimes to just get back normally.

Does this have to do with memory usage not properly resuming? Is it a bug in Chrome/Firefox or Ubuntu itself?

Note that I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 and I was having the problem on both releases, which makes me guess that it has to do with Ubuntu not resuming well if some memory-heavy apps were running before the suspend occured.

I think this could be expected. Hibernation / resume time depends on the amount of RAM the system has, regardless of how much of the RAM is actually used. It makes no difference whether you have 1 or 100 programs open, it will still take the same time.

After getting a new high-end notebook that seemed slower on resuming than my older notebook I learned that the more RAM a system has, the more time it will take to hibernate and resume. There is also data compression / decompression involved in hibernating so this is also a factor if you have more stuff in memory. A few minutes wait time is to be expected, and on high end - ram packed machines it does take longer.

Hope this helps, cheers!
