408Q: I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. Both kernels were
409compiled with the similar configuration files. Anyway I found that
410suspend to disk (and resume) is much slower on 2.6.16 compared to
4112.6.15. Any idea for why that might happen or how can I speed it up?
412
413A: This is because the size of the suspend image is now greater than
414for 2.6.15 (by saving more data we can get more responsive system
415after resume).
416
417There's the /sys/power/image_size knob that controls the size of the
418image. If you set it to 0 (eg. by echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size as
419root), the 2.6.15 behavior should be restored. If it is still too
420slow, take a look at suspend.sf.net -- userland suspend is faster and
421supports LZF compression to speed it up further.
