Hibernation - why the slowdown?

I notice considerable slowdown after even a single hibernation -

this is XPPro SP3, lots of free disk space and plenty RAM, not overclocked

Intel quad.

The slowdown becomes progressively worse with every hibernation on top of

hibernation. It wouldnt be so bad if the slowdown was noticable after say

10 hibernations then a full reboot to correct.

I dont understand the slowdown mechanism - every program is affected it

seems and even scrollbars etc, - is there is anything that can be done to

mitigate the slowdown? Hibernation would be very useful if it could be

relied on.
 
A downside of hibernation is that over time the system does tend to slow down

because a full XP housekeeping regimen is missed when using hibernate rather

than shutdown.

Not to mention, you have doubled your memory use with each hibernation.

I personally never use hibernation, it is disabled on my machines. My

personal preference.

What do you mean by 'doubled your memory use'? I use hibernate almost always

and never experienced any slowdowns.

I run disk cleanup and defrag once a week.

Hibernation makes a mirror image of your drive, Google it and read.

One more thought, Hibernation is a memory hog, now if one has a massive

memory on their machine that in itself is another thought, just because you

do not experience problems or slowdowns does not mean Joe Blow will not.

It does NOT make an image of your drive. It writes all of memory to disk.

When coming out of hibernation memory

is restored to what it was from the disk. What do you mean 'doubled your

memory use'???

How on earth can hibernation be a memory hog? Memory is written to the disk.

Hibernation does *not* make "a mirror image of your drive," and one

hasn't(as you suggested in an earlier post)"doubled [his] memory use

with each hibernation." Hibernation uses disk space, and that's it.

Hibernation is not a "memory hog." Do you even know what "memory" means

in this context?
 
You had best read about hibernation. I think you have a misconception of

what it is.
