As does mine, sometimes when I just close it rather than suspending first it doesn't wake up and needs a hard reboot. Other times it needs quite some time before letting me enter my password and acts frozen until then. Granted, the problem is likely related to age and failing memory (one of the slots is dead) but I do certainly think about suspend behaviour.

If the resume lag is the same I experience, it's the intentional result of suspending to disk to improve battery life:

Though I think the user experience could at least be significantly improved.

If I didn't know better I'd say it's almost as if maybe the user knows better whether to suspend or hibernate, and conflating the two is a classic "Apple knows best" pitfall they return to over and over.
More like "programmer/developer knows best", an attitude that is rapidly spreading beyond Apple.
