Comment 5 for bug 1019468

I've noticed rapid temperature spikes on a Macbook CPU while monitoring macfanctld log output. I was using the average speed (somebody I think wrote that feature in after your code, maybe?) and it definitely was more reactive than the fan had been on OS X, but I'd filtered all the unknown and pointless sensors out.

So users are able, with the out of the box version in Ubuntu, to let the average temperature drive fan speed.

CPU can spike pretty fast though, changing 10-15C in as many seconds at times.
