Running "fvcool -e -i" works just fine for me in keeping my Athlon CPU cool,
BUT the output from TOP, shows:

last pid:  2890;  load averages:  1.10,  1.07,  1.00                                 
up 1+02:45:27  23:20:20
66 processes:  2 running, 64 sleeping
CPU states:  1.2% user, 98.4% nice,  0.4% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% idle
Mem: 112M Active, 139M Inact, 39M Wired, 11M Cache, 41M Buf, 11M Free
Swap: 650M Total, 650M Free

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
 2814 root      97  20   872K   368K RUN     36:32 98.00% 98.00% fvcool

Yet I can still run all the apps I wish, including X/Windowmaker, without any 
apparent loss of speed or stability.  How is this possible?
