No you don't.

I have 16GB RAM in my laptop and my swap partition is 17GB.

Just make sure you create a file like:

***

$ cat /etc/local.d/suspend_image_size.start

#!/bin/sh

#

echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size

***

And make this executable.

This fixes the problem I had that I couldn't suspend to disk when using more then half the memory.

With this, I never have an issue with hibernate.
