I waited 30 minutes, allowing the laptop to suspend on it's own, then resumed - after 3 minutes, the laptop prompted me for my user password, and within 30 seconds, the laptop was ready to use. I felt that was an acceptable time frame, considering this laptop's hardware resources (1.73 GHz Celeron, 512 MB RAM). Then I tried to hibernate the laptop - That was another story all together. After the "successful" resume to the desktop, I manually put the laptop into hibernate mode. After it was completely hibernated, I hit the power button to thaw it, and it took 7 minutes to return to the user password prompt. I entered the password, and about 30 seconds later the desktop quickly flashed past, then the screen blanked, and the laptop immediately went into suspend mode, all on it's own. I hit the spacebar to resume, at which point the laptop thrashed my HDD for another 12 minutes before successfully getting back to the desktop. I have included the appended logs, as promised. Thanks again for the prompt help.
