I have two problems I'd like to ask advice for: 1. Is there a way to improve time frequency of temp zones' temperature info ? On heavy load I can get over 10 deg. jump with which powerd cannot keep up (I use patched version which tries to use passive cooling (drop cpu freq) when temperature is too high). 2. If I start the system after overheating shutdown, the system heats up again, because the passive cooling can only start after the kernel has boot'ed. If the partitions are fsck'ed, it can get even worse. Thoughts appreciated, m.

I honestly do not remember where does default (10 seconds on my system) come from. I have seen (2) on my laptop as well, but this was the result of hardware problem -- heatsink not aligned well with the CPU. After using crowbar and some thermal grease on it the problem disappeared.
