So how TuxOnIce helps here?
Very simple.
With swsusp, I can save 750MB (memory) + 250 Vram (vram)
With full memory save I can save (1750 MB of memory) + 250 MB of
vram....
So what about being able to save 1600 MB total instead of the 2 GB
(which is what we're talking about in case that's not clear)? Would it
be _that_ _much_ worse?
That all depends on what is in the 400MB you discard.
The difference is "Just as if you'd never hibernated" vs something
closer to "Just as if you'd only just started up". We can't make
categorical statements because it really does depend upon what you
discard and what you want to do post-resume - that is, how useful the
memory you discard would have been. That's always going to vary from
case to case.

Nigel
