Reboot rather than suspend for such a short time?  As well as having
my boot and shutdown as tightly optimised as possible, to get the
machine to a login prompt fast.  I'm currently running acpid with:

==> /etc/acpi/events/bigredswitch <==
# odd-numbered power button events are presses, so sleep
event=button/power.*[13579bcf]$
action=/sbin/shutdown -h now

==> /etc/acpi/events/lid <==
# odd-numbered lid button events are presses, so sleep
event=button/lid.*[13579bcf]$
action=/bin/hibernate

==> /etc/acpi/events/sleep <==
event=button/sleep
action=/Users/mjr/bin/wificycle

I'd be interested to hear of other FS power-save/convenience tips.
