Also it's good to enable it after a good defragmentation of the drive, 
so the hibernation file doesn't end up fragmented all over the place to 
find enough room to store it.  If you don't have enough contiguous space 
to store it, the file will be fragmented all over the place and 
hibernation or restoring from it will take longer.

DiskKeeper has a feature that enables defragmentation of the swap and 
hibernation areas, if they end up scattered to the far corners of the drive.
