Just for the benefit of future web searchers with the same question,
here is an interesting thread covering the specific issue. My real
curiosity is still why the performance I see regressed so badly when I
upgraded to F8. The thread leads me to believe that the the F7 swsusp1
did not save caches. Hmm... I have been enjoying the convenience of
fedora's suspend-works-out-of-the-box for awhile now, but I think it
might be time for me to go back to tux-on-ice. I truly am disgusted by
having to suffer through 5-15 seconds of thrashing while changing
desktops after resume. I would much rather the resume take 20 seconds
longer, and present me with a good user experience. (yes, I am one of
those people that thinks that offering early login while the system
finishes booting is a really stupid thing).
