That's the whole idea to not do that. Only when the system changes the image
is redone. Keep in mind it doesn't save the current state (since you are
shutting down), so only the last boot state is saved, usually the one from
last patch tuesday.

(that being said, I use hibernation on SSD devices without much problems.
Usually they are specified as writing the whole space several times a day)
