I'm using hibernation on my 2 machines and it works fine. On one of
them, restoring from hibernation is even *slower* than clean boot (lots
of RAM).
But - nobody can measure my time of opening all my applications again,
with specific ones, which cannot be saved to restore as it was.
That's why i'm using hibernation: I don't need to care about all my
documents, games, web pages, terminal sessions. If I will loose that
long login session with weeks of uptime, I will be really confused. I
can't imagine at the moment to work totally without saving my session
using hibernation.
