IME a good chunk of it is BIOS time.  On my x200s resume is very fast (on the 
order of a second or two though I haven't measured), while on my Eee and T61 
machines it's much slower, even though they're all using Intel gfx.

Of course we should really be shooting for sub-second times or about the time 
it takes you to open your lid (or even much faster in the case of demand 
suspend/resume for servers/desktops).
