  It's common.  Perhaps not ubiquitous, but common.  Once deployments get past 
the trivial / tiny certificate stage, resumption helps lower the number of 
round trips required.

  For PEAP and TTLS, it's even more common.  The main benefit to session 
resumption there is that the name / password does not need to be checked 
against an external database.  For slow databases, TLS session resumption can 
result in significantly lower load, and significantly faster re-auth times.
