Performance "throttle back" problem.
OK, so I know the MB Air isn't designed for this, but I've been playing World of Warcraft on it for a while. What I notice is that the performance is decent for about 10-15 minutes (~10-15 fps) but eventually degrades terribly (~3fps or less). During this time the fan is going nuts (~6200 RPM according to my status widget) and the back/left of the base gets hot.
I've read that the MB Air will shut down one core and throttle back the clock speed of the remaining core when it gets hot. Is this true? Can this be bypassed somehow? If so, is that a really bad idea? I'd prefer not to have to schlep a laptop cooler around if I don't have to.
Your thoughts, as always, are appreciated.
