Looks like, that primary P4 systems have the problem 
(I've not registered this issue before karmic and the syslog replacement called 
rsyslog).
My P4 3.0 GHz is running since the first day with a temperature 70...75°C, its 
not a fan issue or cooling problem.. its designed by Intel.

I've investigated now ~5 days with the problem with no acceptable solution (at 
least for me).
The Bug is partial fixed with the additional rsyslog temperature conf file to 
prevent the massive flood of various logfiles and filling up /var with messages 
like that

[11400.257971] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total 
events = 1972881)
[11400.258565] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal

But if you check the process you'll see a neverending stongly cpu consuming dd 
process (invoked by rsyslogd)
root      4443     1 11 21:25 ?        00:00:01 dd bs=1 if=/proc/kmsg 
of=/var/run/rsyslog/kmsg


The only way to have a little bit silence is, to stop the rsyslog proces until 
a fix is available
Don't forget, to stop again after reboot.
# sudo service rsyslog stop

/var/log fills up with "all normal" messages @ about 575/sec fill up the 
available space
