My "laptop", a T30 cannot be used at my lap for a long time due to
excessive heat.

I'm running noflushd, so the disk is rarely spinning.  Kernel is
compiled with CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y.  

'echo -n "0:0:0:powersave" > /proc/cpufreq' sets the cpu MHz to 66%
(1200 MHz) which is atleast 20 times faster than I need when editing
code in emacs.

Is there any way to reduce the heat?  Kernel-config at
