I actually think flicker time for graphics is the least of our concerns
regarding resume time. It is true that it does flicker in Intrepid, but
that lasts at most 5 seconds, compared to the minute and a half I have
to wait for my system to pull its RAM out of the swap using the kernel
mode. s2disk does this in 20 seconds, inclusive of flicker time.
