Close.  I believe in under suspend-to-RAM the CPU slows down to 1% of its
nominal speed (what's that mean, it would consume (0.01)^2 times as much
power?), and all physical parts stop.  ICBW about the 1% thing; that may be
specific to one product.

                 Unix is user-friendly; it's just picky
