Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.137-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I was excited when the 2.6.35 kernel suspended to ram
`echo mem > /sys/power/state` in 1.4 seconds, but then seeing Fn Zz
acpi suspend hot key taking 6.6 seconds was disapointing, especially
since /etc/acpi/sleep.sh was also using the same kernel suspend to ram
method. Granted it was going to be slower because it has the whole
acpi and pm-suspend set of shell scripts to process through, but 4.7
times slower? I tracked down 3+ seconds of that being
xscreensaver-command sleeping three times for a second each. Here's a
patch to execute those sleeps in the background and half the time to
get the system suspended using the hot keys. It could be executed in
another half the time, but I haven't tracked that down.
As a side note, throttling the screen saver and forcing dpms to off is
pointless when the cpu and graphics card are going to be powered off.
