Just for the benefit of future web searchers with the same question, 
here is an interesting thread covering the specific issue.  My real 
curiosity is still why the performance I see regressed so badly when I 
upgraded to F8.  The thread leads me to believe that the the F7 swsusp1 
did not save caches.  Hmm...  I have been enjoying the convenience of 
fedora's suspend-works-out-of-the-box for awhile now, but I think it 
might be time for me to go back to tux-on-ice.  I truly am disgusted by 
having to suffer through 5-15 seconds of thrashing while changing 
desktops after resume.  I would much rather the resume take 20 seconds 
longer, and present me with a good user experience.  (yes, I am one of 
those people that thinks that offering early login while the system 
finishes booting is a really stupid thing).
