How do the load averages[1] compare on the hot vs. cool setups? If the load average is significantly higher on the hot configuration, you could grab a copy of top.lrp[2] and see which processes are responsible for the increased load average. Running top will itself increase load average (and likely cpu temp), so be sure to account for that increase when measuring temp with top running.

It seems unlikely, but I suppose changes between the 2.4.18 (Bering
1.0) and 2.4.20 (Bering 1.1) kernels could also be responsible for
increased load on the CPU.

Good luck!

[1] Use the "uptime" command or "cat /proc/loadavg".
[2] There are versions at
    http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/khadley/packages.html and
    http://www.monkeynoodle.org/lrp/lrp/packages/ .  top may
    require a package that provides libncurses, e.g. libncurs.lrp,
    which in turn may require a copy of the terminfo data file for
    your desired terminal.

Great - I didn't know you could do that on a Bering box. I will do it and let you know.
