I'm curious that people would be worried about boot times when it's much faster to suspend and resume. I use a notebook every day but only reboot when there's a new kernel or something has gone badly wrong.
Swapping batteries. Rebooting into another OS. Booting to a new kernel.
There are many reasons why a full boot will be done.

Umm... I rarely boot my machines (once in a couple of months), but I'd venture to guess that if suspend-resume was bullet-proof, people would have rebooted their machine only in the cases above, which are pretty rare events for most Linux users. Plus, I might be wrong here, but doesn't suspend to disk theoretically allows you to suspend, switch to Windows (*spit!), and pick up where you left once you switch back to Linux?
