It's not a problem with S3 (suspend to ram), but it is for S4 (suspend to disk)
because power will be lost and the vram carve out area is not managed by the
OS.  Currently S3 and S4 share the same code paths, so they would need to be
reworked to handle S3 and S4 differently.  As for the time it takes, depending
on how much system memory is in use, some stuff may have to be swapped out to
disk to make room for all of the buffers in vram, so a lot of shuffling may
need to take place.
