so far thats the best explanation I've seen yet for why CPU temps are more
intense at the begining of a work unit then at any other time.  I just
though it was odd and thought I would ask, I know there are some very
knowledgeable folks in this NG and I've always enjoyed learning from you's.

Why do CPU temperatures spike (jump) when the SETI Client starts
a fresh work unit.  You would think the CPU temp and load would
be the same as when its mid way through a WU.

  Just curious,

It's my understanding, there are different stages to the processing of a
work-unit.  The first stage is highly intense for the CPU, things settle
into a rhythm after that.  I couldn't find a link that's more specific,
maybe somebody else has it or you've found one on your own.
