I know that! When you turn your Kindle OFF (i.e. when you hold the power button for 7 seconds) it goes into hibernation mode. That's why it takes so long to wake up. In screensacer mode, it finishes up certain tasks and kills most processes after it saves its current state in the flash. It takes a slightly longer time to turn back on from screensaver mode then it does to go into screensaver mode because it has to initialize the processes that were suspended.
