Re the status of this bug as NEEDINFO; what info is required at this point?

Personally I find I have to manually get the CPU fan going by slowly stressing metacity harder by moving windows around the screen before I can do any really CPU-intensive work. Seems my fan just doesn't want to start spinning fast - fast enough.

I'm on a centrino/PM1.6 laptop. Perhaps powernowd is the culprit?
