I always put my PowerBook (Al, 1.25GHz) to sleep from the Apple menu.

Until now, it went to sleep pretty much instantly.

Anyone have an idea what's going on and what to do about it?

I've found that it's something using the sound hardware. When this happens to me, I log out and it sorts itself out.
