I think sleep works liked in my post but I'm not positive as I haven't used it. So as long as you put it to sleep and don't kill the battery you never have to load the demo. It's not exactly long to load the demo either... But to each his own.
I have mine set to if you slide down the screen, it goes to sleep mode. So whenever I wanna take a break, slide it down. Slide it back up, and it'll still be in homebrew. I found this better than messing around with the slider power switch.
If you select ps button > pause game, it'll pause the homebrew then you can do whatever on the xmb. If you select resume game, it jumps back to homebrew just where you left it.
One cool thing is when you do the pause game option then fully power off the go... When you turn the go back on, you'll normally have to go through the whole exploit to reactivate cfw and whatever else you were running. But if you have a paused homebrew and then choose to resume it, it'll bring you right back to the state it was at with no problems at all. And when you exit the homebrew, the cfw will already be activated since it was part of this "paused state", bypassing having to go through the initial exploit process all over again. So you never have to go through the whole exploit process again unless you really needed to.
