Interesting, I hadn't considered that.

Might explain something which did confuse me a little. I ran 'free -m' just 
before hibernating, and from that concluded I had ~280M of ram in active use, 
minus the file cache etc. Hibernating then wrote ~380M. I have 128M video 
card so that might explain the difference ?
