It depends on what you are using STD for. ;-)
It might be a bit off-topic for this thread, but I'm using STD for turning my PC off in the evening and getting it back in exactly the same state in the morning.
This might not have been the original purpose of suspend, but it works quite well, STR is obviously not an alternative, and it doesn't matter much whether it takes a minute.
