This is indeed the case. To be sure I ran unixbench on rc3 and the just released 2.6.11 en the results were nearly identical. So the temperature increase does not seems to indicate that the CPU is doing more. > 40 degrees C is a fairly reasonable temperature for a CPU diode, there's > nothing to be afraid of.

Then I have proabably been measuring it wrong from start. I will upgrade lm_sensors and try again. Thanks, Ben
