Are we sure that the CPU is actually running full tilt?  Usually this
requires some manual intervention to achieve.    perhaps a watch -n 1
grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo

For some of the lighter work I actually lock my laptop to the lower
speed via the KDE ACPI applet.

On my Laptop I noticed that the fan was running at top speed but this
did match with the actual CPU freq.  The CPU was properly scaling but
this did not effect the fan speed.  I wish I had documented what I did
to solve this, I have a foggy recollection that it was related to the
nvidia binary driver (oh the evil binary blob again).  Probably googled
for "Ubuntu 8.04 acpi fan speed".  This was on two laptops, one Turion
X2 and the other a Core2 Duo, both with an nVidia video adaptor, and the
Turion with an nVIdia Chipset (on a barely related note, the Turion is
the worst computer I have ever owned).
