 Glenn's tests are interesting.  His never seems to cool much and does not
rise much.  My machine will drop 20F within 4 minutes.  Other day had 9 apps
open with 3 dos apps running at 80F constantly.  I happen to have a cpu
known for cool operation.  Appears Linux does not have a cpu cool cycle in
kernel.
