Why does your resume from suspend take so long? On my ThinkPad it takes less than one second.

No idea... The CD-ROM drive spins up (no disk in it though), there's some beeping from the speaker, after 3 seconds the backlight turns on, after 5 it switches to a real video mode, and it spends the last second or so drawing the password dialog.
I don't mind too much, 8 seconds is tolerable. At least it never crashes!

That's awfully fast, it's more like 1.5 - 3.5 seconds here. The disks starts to spin the screenblinks and take a while to become something usefull-

Well maybe you're right, because I just took a video of my computer waking from sleep and it takes 6 seconds. However, the time between when the backlight comes on and when the unlock dialog appears is a split second. I guess I was mentally attributing the remainder of the time to the hardware/BIOS.
Which brings us back around to the article. The five seconds of booting does not include the time between power-on and when GRUB hands off to Linux.
