This option appears to pre-dump the contents of memory to the hibernation file when you do a suspend. The only other glitch is that if I use the magic key sequence or zzz to suspend, then the machine wakes up immediately after the dump of memory to the disk is done. But I (or rather the machine's owner, a prof here) can live with typing 'apm -z' rather than hitting the suspend key..
