When a computer goes into standby mode, it will usually park the hard drive, shut off your optical drive (CD or DVD drive), and basically run only on the esential things, running them at much lower speed. When the computer is then brought out of standby, it has to first speed up the essential things, turn on the Optical and hard drives and bring back the video signal. The crunching is probably one of your drives coming back to its previous place. If it is taking more than a couple minutes to come back, you might also look at RAM. If there isn't much RAM it will take the machine longer to return to its initial (before stand by) state.
Good Luck!

Seems like your hard disk is over loaded. Do u have a lot of files on your desktop.

It must be a 'male' computer.
