408 | Q: I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. Both kernels were | ||
409 | compiled with the similar configuration files. Anyway I found that | ||
410 | suspend to disk (and resume) is much slower on 2.6.16 compared to | ||
411 | 2.6.15. Any idea for why that might happen or how can I speed it up? | ||
412 | |||
413 | A: This is because the size of the suspend image is now greater than | ||
414 | for 2.6.15 (by saving more data we can get more responsive system | ||
415 | after resume). | ||
416 | |||
417 | There's the /sys/power/image_size knob that controls the size of the | ||
418 | image. If you set it to 0 (eg. by echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size as | ||
419 | root), the 2.6.15 behavior should be restored. If it is still too | ||
420 | slow, take a look at suspend.sf.net -- userland suspend is faster and | ||
421 | supports LZF compression to speed it up further. | ||
