Pagefile's effect on resuming from hibernation
This has been a huge problem to me from the Windows Vista days. It is still there with Windows 7. I don't know if it has gotten any better of worse, but it is so damn irritating.
See, I use hibernation a lot. I calculated the time to get to desktop, open Opera browser with the same 3 tab session and open a new tab.
With the pagefile set to automatic, it took 2 minutes 45 seconds!!! OMG! It is about 3 times the time it takes to boot!
Without a pagefile, it took only 40 seconds. That's reasonable, but still not great.
Now... WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? I mean, come on! Why don't I see this problem discussed anywhere else? Doesn't anyone use hibernation? It was same with Vista, so it is not this Windows installation, which mind you...it 106 days old. XD
I haven't experimented with having a smaller pagefile, say a 1GB or even a 500MB one. Maybe it might improve, but then the point of having a pagefile fails....kinda.
What do you guys think?
BTW, the system specs are what's written in the relevant section.
