I found
this page which explains how to change sleep mode of Leopard. Might be useful for some people?
Terminal command to check your current mode -
CODE
pmset -g grep hibernatemode
Then to change modes you can type this: (Example of setting it to mode 3)
CODE
pmset -a hibernatemode 3
List of modes available -
0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
5 - This is the same as mode 1, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory (in System Preferences —> Security).
7 - This is the same as mode 3, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory.
