Yes I know you meant less, that's good.

Is that with this "swsusp shrink_all_memory tweaks" patch alone? It doesn't 
touch swap prefetch.

Probably hard to say, but is the system in any better state after resume has 
completed? That was one of the aims. Also a major part of this patch is a 
cleanup of the hot balance_pgdat function as well, which suspend no longer 
touches with this patch.
