I had this problem and it was related to my "write cache" settings on
C drive. For Hibernate to work at 'full speed', you need to have the
"write cache" enabled.
Enabling or Disabling the Disk Write Caching
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. Click Device Manager.
4. Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand
it.
5. Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk
write caching, and then click Properties.
6. Click the Disk Properties tab.
7. Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as
appropriate.
8. Click OK.
NOTE: Enabling write caching generates the following warning. This is
normal: "By enabling write caching, file system corruption and/or data
loss could occur if the machine experiences a power, device or system
failure and cannot be shutdown properly."
