This is still happening very regularly (about 50% of the time I resume from suspend).

I've found that if I disable swap, something similar happens — very unresponsive system, massive disk activity, very high CPU activity (without it being attributed to any one process - according to top it's spending 95% of the time waiting for IO, but no processes are using much of the CPU). Without swap however, it takes 'forever' to recover - I waited an hour and then gave up.

I've found that the only thing which seems to help restore responsiveness is killing X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

Some other possibly related info: I was recently on holiday using the laptop often without the power cable plugged in, which gives me different power settings, and I found for the week, this problem very rarely occurred. It might have been fluke, or it might have been related to the different power settings.
