Did you add memory or change other hardware configurations since the
last full hibernate? Maybe the system had to recreate the hibernation
file from scratch due to that (or just because it had been a really long
time). The file is equal in size to your installed memory, so that can
be a pretty large file.
How full is your hard disk? Perhaps the disk is quite full and
fragmented so the hibernation process had to spend a lot of time to
create the large hibernation spread out over the disk? Maybe
hibernation actually had to defragment to put the hibernation file
contiguously? I don't know if that is a requirement or not. I think it
is for the swap file, but maybe not for hibernation.
Is your disk healthy? Maybe the hibernation process was forced to write
to a little-used part of your disk that has issues and the write process
was very slow due to repeated retries.
Just a couple wild ideas...
