I think there is a bit of confusion here. Hibernation only takes about 10 seconds tops to save 256 megs of RAM to the hard disk. When it boots up it takes even less (I ran it on a P3-550 and after the black screen with the white status bar finished the "Resuming Windows" bit which only took around 3 seconds I was right into my desktop). It's much, much faster than some of you are thinking it is.
