Comment 40 for bug 141613

This bug is a bit more severe on laptops. Because it puts continual background strain on processors it leads to very high running temps but otherwise a responsive system. users who are unaware of the problem risk hardware failure or at least decrease lifetime.

For example on my core2 7400 it will cause a proc that runs normally around the 50C mark to sit at 60-70C and sometimes rise to 80C this will cause battery, harddrive and other component to have signf shorter lifetimes.
