My last kernel was fine:

$ time cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 
48000

real	0m0.007s
user	0m0.001s
sys	0m0.007s


I also forgot to add some information about my kernels...

The good one is 2.6.29 + tuxonice as it was the day after the 2.6.29
kernel was released.

The bad one is a pull from linus tree on april the 9th plus tuxonice on
the same day

from git (hope this helps):
$ git describe v2.6.29-tiago2-ice
v2.6.29-836-g00492ed
$ git describe v2.6.30-rc1-tiago1-ice
v2.6.30-rc1-1002-gac91f91


If tuxonice is a suspect, I will be glad to remove it and recompile.
If I have the time later this weekend, and nothing was found, I will
try to bisect this.
