Well, depends what you mean by "use" - Do you have cpu speedstepping
working ? For me the cpu temp is a strong function of how fast the cpu
is. Idling, it sits at 600MHz and with that the temps stay low. If I
read a few emails etc. for 5-10 mins, this does not really work the cpu
so it stays at 600MHZ and the temps stay low.
If I start really exercising the cpu, build a package etc., it goes up
to its full 1500MHZ, and then the cpu warms up and gkrellm kicks in with
the fans.
I have not really paid that much attention to the temps, I will do and
report back, but I cannot say I've noticed anything different to how it
was with FC4.

My temperature and speed is about the same as in FC4 and earlier
versions of FC. gkrellm itself causes the cpu to go into the maximum
speed when I opened it for a few minutes. Closing it down again let
things settle down again. Maybe gkrellm is the problem.
I have xscreensavers-base installed and do not see any speedup in cpu
utilization. I do not have gnome-screensaver installed either.
