you can guess how long it takes dump 16 GB to disk and load it
Guess, ....

calculate it it takes way too long
it may acceptable on machines with real fast RAID10 but they are booting also much faster and are up in 10-15 seconds 5 seconds for login and a few seconds for session-restore
Do you understand the reason you still set up swap, even though your entire workload working set fits into RAM?
there is no single reason if you have neough RAM
compared with a full boot between 10 and 30 seconds (30 seconds with a LOT of services like mail, www, mysql...)
The Gimp?
GIMP starts in around 5 seconds on recent machines
