To turn off the computer takes (let's say) 20 seconds.  To turn it on takes
(say) 40 seconds.  Entering/leaving suspend mode takes (say) 7.5 seconds.
So the questions are: how much time in suspend mode is equal to the power
used by 45 seconds of running my laptop at normal power, and is that time less
than or greater than the average amount of time I'm leaving my computer in
suspend mode?

Looking forward to reading your citation on this one.
