I tracked it to a dllhost.exe I believe, and then "in" the dllhost the acutal process name was just a bunch of random characters. I searched for the string of characters online, and it lead me to something about DCOM and thumbnails. edit: it was dllhost.exe (6044) which the command line section in performance analyzer said "C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe /Processid:{AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5}". That process id leads to "Thumbnail Cache Out of Proc Server DCOM entry". Since this is an HTPC, and not a desktop, I really don't care about thumbnails, so I just disabled them, and cut my time to 1/3 of what it was.

Yeah...I know that's part of the problem, but I think I finally discovered the real issue. Something with thumbnails causing a problem. I disabled thumbnails and cut the resume down to 50xxxxxx rather than the 198xxxxxx it was.

Ok...so I figured out my previous issue. I have tracked the problem down to the "resume". It is a long amount of time. I am not able to see in the xml why the resume is so long, so I'm adding a link to my skydrive and the trace. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=901462CA8A88F20D!168&authkey=!ALQ-ntzaGMesvV0&ithint=file%2c.zip

I'm trying to diagnose slow resume from hibernate/sleep. Cold boot is fine. When running the command for the hibernate trace, it all works fine. However when I try to create xml file, all I get is a 1kb file that says "Boot action failed: No Winlogon notifications found. ^" inside of it. Nothing else. What might I be doing wrong?
