Excellent, now at least you know it is not APM that you need to fiddle with :-)

Besides the CPU, are any other components getting hot, using smart
monitoring tools on your HDD may give you some helpful info.

AFAIK the default Ubuntu kernels are compiled with CPU frequency
scaling options enabled.

If you trawl through the following you should be able to see which
freqs and governors are available:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
