Try what I mentioned in my previous post on the amount of swap. With 4 GB of memory, you for all intents and purposes could zero out your swap and never really need it. Swap space is used when you run out of shared memory, and it pages files back and forth to your swap space. Closing down 12 GB of swap could be why it seems to hang when you shut it down. It has to sync everything that's in that 12 GB of swap back to disk and out of memory before it proceeds.
