Curious as to how you came to that conclusion?
Pure speculation based on the assumption that suspend-to-disk saves *only* the active pages, i.e. excluding buffer/cache.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/interface.txt it's set to 2/5 of availanble RAM by default [...] setting it to zero causes the kernel to create the smallest image possible.
Interesting, thanks! I guess this is to avoid slow repacking to minimize the image size?
