DRR - thanks for that suggestion, it makes a lot of sense. I'll try converting some video later, I think that should give things a good workout.
I had my computer on a gig last night (I play music, use it with a USB keyboard & virtual instruments) and things went fine. Since fan noise is a non-issue due to the volume levels of the band I play with, I set the minimum speed to 4000 rpm. Running a bunch of virtual instruments does not seem to tax the processor much, but I see no downside to using smcFanControl to keep things a little cooler anyway.
