I don't believe I'm using TuxOnIce, it doesn't appear that's what Fedora uses based on a quick search. It spends the time on preallocating space for the image (the exact wording is slightly different)... it would be nice if it at least had some sort of progress indicator. The part where it's actually dumping the memory to disk doesn't take close to as long.

That's actually two issues TuxOnIce solved quite nicely: smarter and faster preparation of the hibernate process, and showing progress while doing it (and also being able to cancel it while it's hibernating).
I haven't tried it in a while though. It used to be very reliable for me, but nowadays, I'm just using S3.
