+1 to that.  I had a laptop that was doing the exact same thing.  I
installed lm_sensors and saw that at rest my temp was generally 40C
(that's with powersave enabled).  When I compiled the temp would go up
to 75C...I think the highest I ever got it was 77C.*  A /little/ over 40
is too hot...

*For the Americans (like me) the easy way for C -> F is double it,
subtract 10% and add 32.  So the temps would be 104F, 167F and 171F.
