Yes, that would be useful. If the results are in agreement with my data at
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/data/, we will have a strong support for starting the
async threads upfront during resume.

The patches I used for testing are in the async branch in my tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6.git
The first of them is
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6.git;a=commit;h=91bbe0161cab7efcda5de3dfdf6a93f07314ed58
and the others are on top of this one (but it will apply on top of the current
mainline, so I'd suggest to pull the latest Linus' tree and then rebase the
commits from my async branch on top of it).

The "upfront * async" results were obtained with the full patchset applied.
The "sync" results where with /sys/power/pm_async = 0 and the "bare async"
results were with the last two commits reverted.

Great, I hope you're in contact with Jiri Slaby, as he's also been working on
this.
