For some reason the CPU seems to run very hot with a lot of fan activity compared to when I boot XP, plus overall performance seems slow in comparisom to XP with Gnome freezing for a few seconds on occasion as though the system is stretched.
I had exactly the same thing on my Athlon-MP. The whole idea is that Windows automatically scales mobile CPU down (mine to about 500MHz) when it's not being used so the temperature drops down a bit. I have configured powernowd to autoscale my CPU and it's working exactly the same as on Windows now. You can try something like that. Try to find something what has to do with intelistep (that's the name of the cpu scaling engine from Intel AFAIR).
