Not noticed here. What laptop do you have, ibook, powerbook? Precise model can
be found in the machine field of /proc/cpuinfo.

Can you trace the temperatures with another kernel not showing the problem and
this one, see if it's the CPU hotter or the fan kicking in sooner ?

Use that for example:
while true; do cat /sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_temperature; sleep 1; done;

you can also cat /sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_fan_speed to see the fan speed
