94deg is pretty bad. My T43, with this model's notorious thermal
problems, has never passed 75deg on any sensors, whatever the load.

What do the 3 extra sensors (see the top of
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_sensors) say?

It might even have more than 3 extra sensors, so try this (on one line):

perl -ne 'if (s/^EC 0xc0://) {print hex($_)."\n" for m/[0-9a-f]+/g}' <
/proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump

On the T43, the first 3 lines give the extra temperatures.
