Re: Wake from suspend not freeing memory

Are you positive it is not just "caching" rather than freeing? What I would do is completely reboot the system. Then open a terminal and type "free > my_memory.txt". Then try suspend a few times as you did in the past and do this after each un-suspend operation : "free >> my_memory.txt". Then post the output of "cat my_memory.txt" to this thread and we can analyze your memory situation for you.
