I'm sorry, but I haven't a clue what you're getting at here. I'm telling
you that my system takes longer to cold boot than it does to resume from
suspend, which goes against your claim that cold boots are always
faster. They are in fact not since a reboot requires a lot more to occur
than just loading an active image from disk.

None of this matters since, in my case at least, I'm not talking about
the login process when I say cold boot. Restoring from suspend is faster
than a boot, excluding the login.

I think this is what others are pointing out regarding your tone. You
keep saying "is meaningless" but fail to realize that it's not. That
_you_ find no meaning does not mean _I_ don't find meaning (as in
usefulness) from such a feature.
