From an ARS Technica story:
Linux 3.15, expected to be released in mid-2014, "will feature a large number of ACPI and power management updates" and allow Linux-based computers to suspend and resume faster, Phoronix reported today.
'Visible to users with the Linux 3.15 kernel should be reduced time for system suspend and resuming, thanks to the enabling of more asynchronous threads,' the article said, pointing to a list of changes posted by Rafael Wysocki, an Intel employee who maintains the Linux kernel's core power management code. Basic support for Nvidia's Maxwell architecture is also in the works for Linux 3.15.

I concur.
The only really working suspend & resume was on kernel 2.6.29 with TuxOnIce which was more than four years ago, and the PC had uptime above one year, even though power failures happened once or twice per month (I configured automatic hibernation on signal from UPS). The hibernation never failed.
It was using tux on ice, which is nearly dead by now. I really wonder why Linus refused to incorporate it into the kernel when the main developer was at top creativity. After the refusal he lost his enthusiasm, and his work slowly stopped. Other, different suspend/resume engines were put into the kernel, and they never worked for me. What a pity.
