Hello,

Totally un-scientific, but I have been watching tempurature the past few 
days with gkrellm.  I thought your report sounded pretty fantastic, so I 
HAD to try it out.  I made world, etc.  And while making world, 
tempurature climbed rapidly to top tempurature of 144.5F.

Since booting in to the new world, and running portmanager -u, as well 
as streaming, plenty of work to keep the system quite loaded, it took 
some time to get past 120F, and now seems to top out around ... 142.7F 
it says now.  It took a long time to get past 140F.

It seems that if thre IS a difference, that maybe it takes longer to 
build up heat now?  Ah well . . .

Thanks,
-danny
