About the time someone mentioned checking the disk write cache, I found it was
disabled. VERY strange since it was enabled previously. Something obviously
turned it off without my okie-dokie.

Anyway, I re-enabled the write cache for the disk drive and all is right with
the world...hibernation takes approximately 20 seconds.

Thanks all!!
