Binary package hint: arista

I tried using Arista to transcode an avi-file to the n900 preset.
The computer is a laptop with a core2duo CPU, usually at 50 degress C, normal spiking at 70-80 on intensive tasks.
Transcoding this one single file with Arista gives a CPU temperature up to 95 degrees, actually causing the computer to suddenly shut down long before actually completing the task. There must be some way to have Arista be less aggressive.

This is the relevant info from the avi:
