Laptop poor performance

[Sean Bruno]

I seem to be running into some issues with performance on my laptop.  It
appears the machine is dramatically slowing down under load.

I was, er ... uh ... load testing, with America's Army, and noted that
my laptop runs fine for a bout 3 to 5 minutes.  Then the fans kick into
overdrive and I lose about %60 of my performance(determined via my FPS
in game, not real accurate).

I never saw this type of slow down under any FC3 kernel, what should I
be looking for?
