FYI, the are multiple suspend modes (see 'man acpiconf'). If you do a 'sysctl 
-a | grep acpi' you should find one where you can set the 
sleep-mode-on-lid-close to something else, such as S3 (I can't check which 
one right now; running with APM).

I don't have the same laptop as you do, but almost - an IBM T40p. On this 
machine, suspend at level 3 almost works except dead USB and behavior 
consistent with heavy load after the resume. You may want to try this with 
your laptop.

As an alternative you can try using APM. APM suspend mostly works on the T40p; 
it might work on yours too.
