I still wonder why you say it is so unreliable as to be unusable.  I 
have never really had an issue with its reliability.  As for speed, I 
started looking into it a bit today and I found that installing pm-utils 
and uswsusp is an improvement over the default kernel handling.  It 
looks like uswsusp compresses the image so writing it is faster, and it 
has the ability to interface with two different splash screen packages 
to display progress as it does so.  It also supports suspend to both. 
It looks like the Ubuntu build disables splash support since Ubuntu uses 
plymouth.

Would it not be a good idea to integrate uswsusp with plymouth and 
enable it by default?
