It isn't.  Still, device_resume() is called explicitly by swsusp_write() and 
IMO what happens is that the resume() function of one of the drivers does 
something that causes the system to slow down, which affects the writing 
operation (please note that the clock seems to be unaffected, though).  I'll 
try to narrow it.

I guess it will, but I'll check.
