Huh! Are you suggesting that 74 C is too high? On my poor Aristo I thought that's pretty standard temperature. I just got used to the fan noise... :-) > I don't know about those, I suggest changing the niceness of portage. > Put something like this in your /etc/make.conf file: > > PORTAGE_NICENESS=<put niceness number here, 20 or less> I doubt it would help. Niceness is relative thing - if there were no other jobs for CPU, the emerge would still run at full speed.
