This is wrong for the 770/N800/N810, and even more wrong for the N900 with its (supposedly) better processor and power hungry radios.

Shutting down and restarting is probably faster than hibernating, honestly.
The advantage of hibernation is not only in the very little time it might save, but in the fact that you get your computer in the same state as you left it - same programs open with the same documents in the same locations, etc.
