I am honestly unsure of where to put this, so why not here? I'm sure it's a software thing rather than hardware thing.
Why is it that the longer one leaves a computer on standby/hibernate, the longer it takes to thaw?
For example, if leave this laptop (specs unnecessary, I presume) on Standby for 3 hours, it will turn on within 10-15 seconds, yet if I leave it on Standby overnight, or for 2-3 days, it will take around 3-10 minutes to get out of Standby...
Why? Anyone know the mechanisms behind it? I really hate turning off my computer when I have so many applications open...
