After realizing that FuguIta runs stable and not current like I thought (sorry for the noise) I decided to download a snapshot from an openbsd mirror and to install it in my Thinkpad T410. I indeed noticed an improvement in the CPU temperature issue:
With 5.7 release after booting: hw.sensors.fan0=3283 RPM hw.sensors.temp0=43.00 degC hw.sensors.itherm0.power0=5.00 W With 5.8 Jun 18th snapshot idem: hw.sensors.fan0=1981 RPM hw.sensors.temp0=37.00 degC hw.sensors.itherm0.power0=4.00 W Even so there is no improvement in battery life. Two hours maximum. *** OFF TOPIC I had to change my email address to be able to post this message; the original address I'd subscribed to this mailing list was blacklisted without apparent reason. I asked for help sending a message to owner-majord...@openbsd.org as pointed at in the majordomo web interface (using this new address since the other is banned); no response. So I'll repeat here my suggestion to warn others about the issue: new users of openbsd mailing lists should be aware about the long delays they'll experience because of the spamd "greylist" settings, and, honestly, the postmaster should consider if spam is really more annoying than suffering this greylisting measure.
