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.
