I strongly disagree. I got suspend-to-RAM to work but its utility is seriously
limited by battery capacity. For example, on my laptop (Sony VGN-B100B) with
1.5GB of RAM, a fully charged battery is drained in about 18 hours if the
laptop was suspended to RAM.

Yes, for a few hours suspend-to-RAM is convenient but suspend-to-disk is
_reliable_ and _safe_.
