Comment 11 for bug 1600599

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this:

Are you implying that the behavior I observe is the expected one?
It is not.

With thermald running (with its default configuration): the system slows down becoming completely unusable when the cooling fan has barely reached half its maximum speed.

With thermald not running: my system works perfectly, nothing bad happens, the fan spins noticeably (not a lot) faster but there's still PLENTY of margin before it reaches its maximum speed.

So, cpu throttling is starting WAY too soon, unnecessarily rendering the system unusable, when the physical fan alone is more than enough to keep the temperature down.

It's not that I "don't care about life or the system or shutdown", it's that thermald is limiting CPU when there's not even a remote risk of any of that.
Either thermald is not working or its default configuration is ridiculously wrong.
