IMHO the overheating is the other symptom of debugging enabled in the kernel. Somebody sees F16 slowness because its computer power is not enought to run on a good speed with all the debug, while different system is OK to use, but all components are running on it's max, generating enormous heat. With a bit of dust this causes on a "not so good" designs overheating. I had to stop testing Fedora pre-releases until debug is off, because my test machine gets painfully slow already few Fedora releases back. I have a feeling that for F15 the debug was disabled all the alfa/beta, but for F16 it was decided to be enabled it again. I am not sure whether there was any decision to build both kernels (w and wo debug) for test releases and let the user decide, but I can not use the kernel with debug enabled.
