(Get the code!)
I made 2 changes to my system, and the problem has disappeared. I'm not sure which one it was, since I made them both at the same time. I increased the amount of physical memory in my laptop from 4GB to 8GB. Then, to try to solve a different issue I was having where the system would randomly hang with a purple screen with vertical white lines, I disabled a power saving AGP feature in the BIOS. I haven't had a system hang or everything swap out to disk since, and this was about 2 weeks ago.
It seems less likely that the fix was due to increasing the physical memory. I would close out every application before suspending, and I would still get the issue after 2-3 suspend/resume cycles. Before suspending, free -m would show 2+GB of free physical memory, and some other memory was just being used as cache, but there was never any swap usage. So I'm leaning toward it being fixed by the BIOS change.
