Disabling Safe Sleep
I'm pretty happy with my MacBook
Pro, but it seems to take a long time to sleep. I'm guessing this is partly due
to the fact that it has safe sleep enabled — the contents of RAM is
written to disk (and then can be read back in upon waking). I don't think
there's any UI to disable this, but from a Terminal window you can
type
sudo pmset hibernatemode
0
I haven't tested
to see if it's actually faster, nor have I verified whether RAM was being
written encrypted or not. But I should now be faster, and at least as
secure.
