I've seen most people talking about the first solution that Nvidia documents, which is probably slow:

  "Save allocations in an unnamed temporary file"

The faster solution would be:

  "S0ix-based power management"

Both are documented in https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/510.54/README/powermanagement.html#PreserveAllVide719f0

I think this highlights why the bug exists in the first place -- keeping Nvidia GPU memory alive during sleep requires more power than the GPU would usually receive (or that you would like it to use) in a sleep state.
