Thanks Marius for your explanation about hibernation process.
I like yet to use it, to get back my old session, with for example web
pages available to read when I'm in travel with no network. 

I wonder if running 'sync' or cleaning cache with :
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
could speed up the process ?

I've heard about tuxonice, but don't tried yet (using stock kernels
from Debian is so easy). I'll test it !

  Thanks for advice,
