Psensors does this. Top also gives CPU usage.
Shutting down my daughter's instance of Firefox, with a flash game running, had an immediate and dramatic effect on the temperature. Within about 4 minutes the temps had dropped 15 - 20 C and after a few more minutes the spikiness became much less frequent, as well. Opening and closing programs will cause spiking, but then it seems to calm down again. BTW, just typing this post seems to have brought back the spikes after about 5 minutes without any. So I'm going on the assumption that occasional spikes "just happen" and probably are not an issue. Flash, and video, however, cause constant spiking and need to be shut down when not actually in use. Other than that, I don't see anything specific that seems to coincide with spiking temps.Additionally, the temperatures are constantly spiking.If they're spiking, it's because "something"'s pushing them up; apart from the widget, conduct an investigation from the cold to the hot with top opened ASA the machine's booted. Also check your wife's temperature, you never know.
