Well I noticed that when I use the keyboard power options the fans don't
stop running.
When I don't use them the fans turn off in Standby.
Is there a way of using Hibernation and having it wake up faster? What
parameters in the computer aid the startup time I wonder? And how long is
a typical startup time from Hibernation?
"Typical" times depend on a lot on the hardware installed and what level it
is. My 4 year old XP Home SP3 PC goes from hibernation to usable in less
than 45 seconds, and only takes about 30 seconds to go into hibernation.
Like Jose said, if you are in standby and the power goes off, you'll lose
anything you hadn't saved before going into standby (unless you're plugged
into a UPS). With hibernation, you can unplug it from the wall if you wanted
to and it will still start in the same state it was when you shut it down.
Standby may be quicker by a few seconds, but hibernation is safer.
