[ltp] T61 temperature limits

[shadowkernel]

I am using a tp-fancontrol 
program(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed) to 
control the fan speed of my T61. Without this program, my fan runs 
constantly at about 3000 rpm, and CPU temperature 41 Celsius or so, GPU 
48 Celsius or so. After running the program for a period of time, my 
Ubuntu operates slowly, and I feel very uncomfortable when typing 
characters. Any suggestions or comments?
