From an ARS Technica story:

Linux 3.15, expected to be released in mid-2014, "will feature a large number of ACPI and power management updates" and allow Linux-based computers to suspend and resume faster, Phoronix reported today.

'Visible to users with the Linux 3.15 kernel should be reduced time for system suspend and resuming, thanks to the enabling of more asynchronous threads,' the article said, pointing to a list of changes posted by Rafael Wysocki, an Intel employee who maintains the Linux kernel's core power management code. Basic support for Nvidia's Maxwell architecture is also in the works for Linux 3.15.

    I welcome any change to the resume time. While I have never experienced a failure to suspend/resume outside of bad hardware (like a failed power supply) I have always wondered why resume times vary so much on the same hardware. I have had some resumes in four seconds and other resumes in fifteen seconds on my main PC and could never find out why.
