It takes a few seconds for any computer to sleep because it needs to save information to the drive first. How quickly that process completes is determined by how much information needs to be saved and the speed of the drive (HDD or SSD).
Ok. I have a SSD and 8 GB of RAM. And it takes 3-4 seconds for the screen to go blank. My old late 2009 MBP the screen would go blank instantly.
Even though the screen might be blank, that doesn't mean it's in sleep mode. Wait for the sleep light to begin pulsing.
i have the low 13" MBP. It takes a sec or two to put to sleep AND wake up.
I had the 2010 and it was put to sleep faster and woke up faster. We're talking a second at most.
Doesn't concern me, but did notice it. I was going to post about it too, thanks.

Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed it. Guess its an issue with the new models. Nothing that a update can't fix.
Turn off hibernation.
do this in terminal
do this in terminal
and then
to remove the hibernation image to save you %your RAMsize% amount of storage in your HDD.
Hibernation is for resuming your work after you totally lose power during sleep.
If you get it to sleep, it probably isn't going to lose every drop of power. If it does, it will take days in sleep for that to happen. By then you woudn't care about the "state" it was in before sleep. Total power cut isn't going to happen during sleep either since your battery isn't removable.
I'd say hibernation is pointless for unremovable battery-MacBooks. You get to close the lid and pick the computer up right then without worrying about shocking the HDD and you get 4GB more in HDD space. I'd say its very safe.

Just another quick question. If I want to undo that action, what do I have to type of Terminal??? Thanks.
