I've noted nothing with CPU temperature, but I don't routinely watch it. 
Do you see the throttling if you cut back on the number of cores you use?

What I am seeing in recent work is more volatility in performance 
measures than has been typical. In the range of -+0.5% run to run of 
late where I'd been getting <<0.1%. Makes it more difficult to determine 
whether a local code change has much affected performance. Basically 
need many more renders or renders with much longer run times.

Aside: Not talking about parser run times here. I expect those to be 
more volatile due memory allocations as the scene is digested.
