STR (suspend to ram/S3)  is IMHO the way to go if  it works for you.
it wakes up in 4-5 seconds, it gets suspended in 3-4 seconds.

You can info in mythtv wiki and probably on the homepage of your
distribution. You can test it on the shell by running "echo mem
>/sys/power/state". Check syslog and messages for debugging, because
you will probably have to turn of some devices (remove modules) before
suspending.
