Do you need one of these to turn off deep sleep?
Apple has a tip about putting your computer into sleep mode very fast
which avoids making a Deep Sleep image:
http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/quicksleep.html
"Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2
seconds"
Also, another option for turning off Deep sleep permanently (as long
as you don't change Energy Saver profiles that is) is to type the
following commands into Terminal:
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
$ sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=false
When done, restart your computer. Then go delete the file /"/private/
var/vm/sleepimage" if you want to free up the several gigabytes used
up by the sleepimage file (up to 4GB in size if you have 4GB of RAM
for example).

Another option is SmartSleep which is a system preference pane
rather than a Dashboard widget:

I actually often turn off Deep Sleep most of the time as I get
frustrated waiting 10-20 seconds for the Mac to write the Sleep
image every time the Mac goes to sleep. If you grab the Mac and
sling it into your laptop carry bag while it is writing the sleep
image, it can cause head crashes. It also means you can't
instantly wake the Mac back up again if your Mac goes to sleep
accidentally. :-)
