Copy this on MacBook Pro, thermald 1.5. Took forever to figure out that thermald was the culprit. Unfortunately, thermald does not report its throttling activity to syslog on a default Mint 18.1 install, so there was nothing pointing in its direction. I don't want to stir up the debate about whether or not thermald's behaviour is right or not (perhaps there really are people who prefer a slow system over one that has its fans running), but at least it would have been nice if it thermald would inform users that it is crippling CPU speed. Then I would have simply disabled it immediately.
