You do want to make sure the cpu is still not running high and that 
there is not a rogue process taxing the cpu before you close the lid.

I have seen pictures online of people that have closed their powerbook 
while a process was using 100% of the cpu and melted the keyboard (not 
the lady that baked her powerbook, that's another story). The process 
never quit even while in sleep mode.

I run "cee pee you" from http://www.unsanity.com/products.php. It sits 
in the menu bar and I can see what my % my cpu is running at a glance.
