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.

I switched to the Gnome Screen saver and that fixed my CPU speedup and temp problem on my Inspiron 600m. I am running FC5 on the 600m and it was upgraded from FC4. Currently Using the Picture folder screen saver.
