One of win 8’s targets was to decrese boot times. Bios was slow, so Win 8.1 was designed to take advantage of UEFI. While they were there, they decided to ‘cache’ the kernel to make it super fast.
But it was just the kernel. All your apps still had to load again from scratch. They should have called it hybrid sleep visibly in the UI. But the change was confusing, so they just hit it.
