Unfortunately, it seems that this happens with the performance CPU governor (after disabling the ondemand with that update-rc.d script). The only difference, that the laptop become hot, and the ventilator never stops - so the performance cpu frequence governor is working, I'm sure). And firefox (or the terminal, or the chromium) freeze pretty frequently, when I want to scroll up or down. Not always, but nearly after 20-30 tries.
