Check the power usage at the wall plug. My guess is you'll see power *off* draws about 10 W (probably more) and suspend-to-ram mode draws exactly the same. The systems I have built with suspend-to-ram roughly wake-up under 10 seconds, from the ley press(es) on the IR remote to sound out on the amp. 10 secs may seem a lot but in fact it is quite manageable.
Hibernate, as I suggest above, is only slower on boot, and will not gain any extra watt. As for a platform that will sleep on command and wake every time you ask, I think the easier way i using a mac. Very reliable and predictable. Else you can succeed with linux, but you'll need to take so time figuring out what s2ram needs as parameters in order to obtain reliable sleep to ram/wake-up. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78592
