returning from standby the gnome-power-manager does something that makes the harddisk go berserk

[Herco van Brug]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

coming back from standby the harddisk led stays on for 20 minutes and top shows gnome-power-manager as the process that makes the %WAIT go up to 80% for that time.
could be vmware-vmx that has something to do with it too going crazy on the pagefile. system is not under memory pressure but still..
