[Bug 22336] Re: laptop overheats when performing CPU intensive tasks.

Re the status of this bug as NEEDINFO; what info is required at this
point?

Personally I find I have to manually get the CPU fan going by slowly
stressing metacity harder by moving windows around the screen before I
can do any really CPU-intensive work. Seems my fan just doesn't want to
start spinning fast - fast enough.

I'm on a centrino/PM1.6 laptop. Perhaps powernowd is the culprit?
