 I finally just reinstalled 7.10. gkrellm needs to be running. At least from
what the cpu temperature sensor says. Sometimes I wonder whether the
temperature sensor is giving a false reading because I know for sure that
the fan doesn't run offend in XP. Anyway, CPU usage is down to where it
should be . . . not hovering over 60%.
