The problem with pull-based resume is that unless you have pushed the
working set ahead of time (or are in the process of pushing those pages
first) then performance will suck pretty bad as you'll spend all your time
demand-fetching pages with a wide-area RTT latency per page. Is this better
than running the machine in its original location, pushing the pages, and
connecting to the machine remotely until the memory image is fully built up
at the destination? Perhaps you need to build it to find out...
