Problem - T43 takes several minutes to complete hibernation

[Longden]

I've had a T43 for about 3 months now and it seems like the time it takes for hibernation to complete (Fn-F12) has gotten progressively longer (like on the order now of 3-5 minutes). Entering Standby mode is as fast as always, and so is the resume from either Standby or Hibernation (all usually under 30 sec).

Only entering Hibernation seems to be affected, so I wondered if anyone had a clue, or maybe can point me to a related thread ... my attempts to search for this problem usually turned up slow resumes from Hibernation, which is not a problem for me.

This problem happens even when I have no applications running on my T43 which comes with 768MB of memory, and is just running XP professional (no Linux).

Any advice or tips would be appreciated! Thx.

would one of the apps happen to be FireFox? for some reason, if I hibernated with Firefox running, entering or resuming from hibernation would take forever.

I've got Firefox installed and often have it running, but hibernation is slow even when Firefox is shut down ... but thanks for the warning.

I'll try running some disk utilities and see if maybe it's having some write problems.
