I've switched to a new laptop with 8G in stead of 4G memory, and did not run into the problem yet (it was a real usability problem for me). If I can find the time, I'll try and (over)load my memory, go through a suspend cycle and see if I can (or cannot) reproduce. If I'd need to pick an older

OK, results are a bit mixed. I'll summarize again. I've tested suspend/resume cycles on a fresh boot, running at ~50% memory load: 1) mainline (3.7.0-030700rc5), unity-2D: no apparent problems 2) latest kernel (3.2.0-33-generic #52-Ubuntu), unity-2D: no apparent problems 3) latest kernel

Running on the previous kernel (3.2.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu) and unity-3D I had a slow resume on the fifth time (conditions similar to those in #14, but now running unity-3D - apparently mainline kernel caused fallback to unity-2D). Now testing the latest kernel (3.2.0-33-generic #52-Ubuntu) and

It seems to help. I've now had 9 suspend/resume cycles since the Bios upgrade. They all went smoothly, except for one. In this instance I had a larger than average memory load (firefox ~500M, thunderbird ~300M, Java ~200M, I think about 2.5G out of 3.9G in use). The system could recover after I
