You probably don't want to be doing a full RSA signature every minute,
Would the CPU stay any cooler just busy waiting versus doing something
useful like calculating RSA signatures?
Temperature isn't the issue, it's power. I assume someone wants the

very little power, whereas active computation will consume thousands
of times more, if not even more.
