Since I added a 1Gb card to the original 512Mb, hibernation had been extremely unreliable at all times, and failing 100% of the time when the memory load reached 42%. I installed a pre-release version of SP3 hoping it would fix was a NIC driver problem. That did not work, but the hibernation problems disappeared, and the memory load behaves much more normally rather than always ratchetting up until it kills hibernation. That being said, I am not aware of anybody else having issues one way or the other. My problems were probably due to flaky hardware, so it may not help that much on "normal" computers, but in my case it makes the laptop usable again. My only PITA with SP3 was being unable to upgrade to the final version without a needlessly long uninstall and reinstall.
