My ThinkPad 600X manual states that Win98 takes much longer to resume

it has more robust recovery for things like networks and such.
Hibernate should function the same as suspend, except for saving and
restoring the hibernation file. That file, by the way, is sized
according to your RAM only. The operating system has no bearing on that,
nor does the OS even know about hibernation.

Huh? Again, the HIB file should be sized according to how much RAM you
have. Keep in mind that thinkpad's like FAT filesystems for the
hibernation file, and older thinkpad's must have a FAT16 partition.
