It seems to help. I've now had 9 suspend/resume cycles since the Bios
upgrade. They all went smoothly, except for one. In this instance I had
a larger than average memory load (firefox ~500M, thunderbird ~300M,
Java ~200M, I think about 2.5G out of 3.9G in use). The system could
recover after I had killed these three (freeing ~1G), but swapping
continued for another 5 minutes or so. I've had 2 or 3 snappy suspends
after this one.

Interestingly, before the critical suspend on 'high memory load' swap
was virtually empty (~200K), but now, after this critical suspend, swap
remains around 1G used, while memory is about 1.7G used.

Just for clarity, I did not reboot during this period (reboots are for
kernel upgrades or other emergencies :-)

Any other info that I need to supply?
