Run the conservative governor and don't change the frequency
yourself. I've got a T42p here (the 2.1Ghz model), and I rarely see it
overheating doing lots of things.
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=m
Keep in mind that these laptops weren't meant to be "servers",
or "compile-all-day" machines. If you want to run them 24x7 or compile
for hours at a time... think about using a different machine or
building your binaries on a non-laptop platform.
