Would something like uswsusp/tuxonice (software suspend to RAM or disk) be capable of assisting in quick boot times?

Step 1: Build fully functioning embedded system and boot it. Step 2: Suspend it in the state you want it be in on boot Step 3: Hack u-boot to directly load the suspended image

Has anyone done something like this? Is it feasible?

I just saw the link posted by joezydeco (above). It has good links to information on this particular avenue of optimization, particularly: http://elinux.org/Suspend_To_Disk_For_ARM
