Hm, this wasn't really a success... Here's a description what I did. I could check the CPU teperature only in the BIOS after a reboot .

0 - 28°C/82°F was the cpu temperature while first switching on
1 - 34°C/93°F after 5 minutes normal working with 10.5.3
2 - 40°C/104°F after 5 minutes normal working with 10.5.6
3 - cooldown to 35°C/95°F after 5 minutes 10.5.3 idle
4 - 43°C/109°F after the 9.6.0 kernel installation - 4 minutes with heavy cpu load
5 - 42°C/107°F after 5 minutes 10.5.6 idle
6 - 44°C/111°F after VoodooPower installation - again 4 minutes heavy cpu load
7 - back to 42°C/107°F after 5 minutes 10.5.6 idle
8 - cooldown to 37°C/98°F after 5 minutes 10.5.3 idle.

So 10.5.6 is in average 6°C/42°F hotter than 10.5.3. Why is this so? I had temperatures of 49°C/120°F with heavy loads in 10.5.6, and this will get more in summer. Ok, it's far below the cpu's critical temperature of about 65°C/149°F, but it would still be interesting why 10.5.6 gets hotter on the same hardware.

Andy: Are your installer packages reparing every time the full permissions? I had heavy loads of installdb, mds, diskutil and similar tools, partially 80-90%. That was the reason why the installations took about 4 minutes.

What is the difference of your patched PS/2 driver? Sometimes the normal one failed on 10.5.6 and after installing the Voodoo PS/2 driver the combinations F12 to eject the DVD drive and Crtl+F12 to get the shutdown menu aren't working anymore.
