I've noticed on several of my laptops that they run way hotter with 
freebsd than other systems (linux, windows).  Most are newer models that 
have either acpi issues or lack speedstep support.  But I suspect 
there's something else going on in the basic system.  I find it hard to 
believe the clock rate is the cause of this extra work but haven't dug 
into it (I hoped judicious use of hwpmc would pinpoint what's going on).
