Laptop has been at around 70 degrees C for a while while idle compared to regular of around 50 (60 under load).
Load average is 3 compared to past of 1.2 to 1.5.
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep MHz
returns 2900 consistently when in the past it would be as low as 1533.
What might be causing all this?
Nevermind.

lists around 20 firefox processes each using 395MB of RES memory. At some time I downloaded "Folding at Home" and it is using 98% of my process. I don't know how to get rid of it or why I downloaded it. – user341814 – 2014-08-20T04:38:10.313Well, got rid of it. Load average rapidly dropping, temperature rapidly dropping, all that. Thanks. – user341814 – 2014-08-20T04:44:10.737
