Why does my iMac take so long to go to sleep?

Note: I have seen this question as well as this question, I don't believe that either pertain to this situation.


When I press the sleep button on my iMac it consistently takes 30-31 seconds to go to sleep. The computer is reasonably old, it is a early 2008 model and because of this, the hard drive is pretty full (only about 2GB left). When the computer sleeps there are no processes taking up a lot of CPU and most of the RAM is available. The computer wakes up reasonably quickly (1-2 seconds)

I would like to know why the computer takes so long to go to sleep, and if there is a solution to the problem.

Here are the stats of the computer:

OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)

2GB DDR2 SDRAM

2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

If anymore information is needed, just add a comment.
