I'm saying suspend and shutdown work for me now. I can't speak to
speed, the previous install went on an IBM T22. Which I think is a P1
or 2. This install went on a T30 P4. Also this time I went with the
default partitioning, not partitioning separate partitions myself. So I
can't really speak to any improvement, sorry. I can speak to the fact
it's extremely easy to setup. Of course it's very minimal, but
individual Gnome and KDE packages can be added. Such as Networkmanager,
etc.
