I don't know exactly how suspend-to-disk works, but I assume it works by forcing memory pages to be swapped on disk. I assume that at resume time, it doesn't necessarily swap back all the pages that were in memory, but only does so on page misses. Thus, having to swap back a process like firefox, which is usually taking more than 100MB may take a long time. That's only an hypothesis.
