Mine is fast. the cf-30 went to duo-core.
The only thing that is slow is the hard-drive.
My SD chip or external usb2 drive is faster than the internal.
But then I am getting over 8 hours of use between recharge.
I guess for my type of use I would rather be able to run an entire day
on a battery more than I care about drive seek time.
If you want 20 hours of time out of this machine you have to replace
the cd drive with a second battery.

The heat is handled by the metal case. This is not a light laptop and
I have never seen it switch to low gear from heat although it can.
