Well, while it would be a good option to have, I'm not sure it's a good idea to make it the default. If you flush the buffer+page caches, then later you will need to repopulate them. It is worth caching data, in ordinary circumstances, because it has a certain chance of being useful

Filling memory to zero does not help for my laptop. Perhaps it is weird. But this particular obscure model of laptop is not important. The thing is to handle most laptops, to make suspending faster for most users, and to build it in by default so that it works "out of the box" on most machines.
