I have always used a "double tap' on the space bar to wake machines. |

I can confirm your experience. It seems to be getting worse and I run lxde |
| 20 |
for a minimized desktop. I recently have explore ways to manually flush |
| 21 |
the cache and memory. It helps, but sometimes I have to reboot the machine. |
| 22 |
I am not sure what is at the root of this "deep sleep" on my gentoo machine |
| 23 |
either. I suspect the kernel, but it's only a guess. There is lots to |
| 24 |
tune these days, if you have time to read upon things..... |
