I don't know. Escape sounds pretty logical :-)
Go ahead, i don't even know if this is an issue (Holger could probably test
what happens to the escape that sends bootsplash into verbose mode, i'm not
sure if this one is even propagated to userspace) and if it is, i could still
either change the define for the SUSE package or
if (bootsplash.is_silent())
ignore_first_esc;
something ugly like that.

Ok, maybe this is something we should look into later, since i really often
see machine freeing memory for 30 seconds, snapshotting for another 20 seconds
and then writing for 10 seconds (or at least it feels like that :-).
Pavel never has those machines, but i seem to always have, i also always had
those that were unusably slow when writing the in-kernel-swsusp image :-)
