Nope. Tiger sleeps instantaneously here.
Cheers,

Both my G4 powerbook and my mac-mini both sleep almost instantly with Tiger.
The powerbook will occasionally not be able to use its wireless connection. It shows its connected but it won't send or receive on the connection. Putting it back to sleep and waking it up again does the trick.

I have seen this (taking some time to sleep) but it was soon after the upgrade to Tiger. Not seen it recently. I think it is something to do with Spotlight indexing. I have had no problems with wireless networking, which connects immediately on wake up.

Thanks ray (and Chris and Joe). Inevitably, sleep has behaved perfectly since I posted :) Indexing was supposed to have finished yesterday, before this problem arose, so I don't htink it was Spotlight-related. Anyway, if it doesn't come back I can't be bothered to figure out what caused it...
As for the wireless, I'm luckily near enough to the router to run an ethernet cable for the time being, but if 10.4.2 doesn't show up with a fix PDQ it'll be back to troubleshooting i suppose.
I must say that my experience of TIger so far is not great. Some really nice features (and I don't mean Dashboard), but it somehow gives me that Windowsy feeling that something catastrophic could happen any moment...

I get it sometimes. I have a feeling that it is related to open applications using larger quantities of virtual memory. For example, it's doing it at the moment, and I have Photoshop Elements open with about 15 documents.

It's normally OK after a restart but the network disappears somewhere between a minute and 20 minutes later. As i said, I haven't investigated much beyond deleting all settings and starting again, because I'm within ethernet cable-reach of the router, and I've got work to do!

Yes, re. my other post 'IOATAController error', i suspect it's connected to that. There's also a 'kernel_task' process which has been periodically hogging enormous amounts of CPU.

Sometimes problems with USB devices can keep the system (and the operator) from getting to sleep quickly. Try disconnecting all USB kit it if happens again.
(I had very strange interaction between Matias keyboard and PhoneValet which interfered with sleep.)

So what do you mean? Spotlight and what else?

More the background stuff: improvements to the text APIs (built-in tables in NoteBook and other text apps now) and pdf support (lots of fancy new LaTeXing features in TeXShop, for instance).

there's only a mouse, and I think it's happened even with that disconnected. Thanks for the suggestion though.
