Thanks for the improvements. I'm using your original version, that I'm
very fond of... Anyway, about throttling:

I've experimented throthlling, and I honestly have found no temperature
difference in using throttling 0, 4 or 7 (0%, 50% or 87%)
I've notisted the speed difference, yes. (System responsivness)

My test were done idling for 10 minutes. I've done them either in
cpuspeed high and low. Maybe the results under cpu load will generate a
temperature difference by throttling, but idling I honestly saw no
difference...

Maybe all of you out there could check this behavour? 
Thanks
