I need to update this issue.  Version 2.4.8 of thermald does NOT fix
this issue.  This is not a hardware issue per se because under Windows,
this throttling does not occur.  (Under Windows, the machine is able to
run a bit hotter and without throttling.)  I speculate that Dell has
written drivers for Windows that are able to call API's into the Dell
BIOS and management hardware to manage thermal, power, and fan
attributes, and Dell has chosen to not write kernel drivers, update
existing kernel drivers, or even just provide API documentation so that
someone else in the Open Source community can write those drivers.  My
hope is that Canonical, with its relationship with Dell, will be able to
get this information so that SOMEBODY (either within or outside of
Canonical) is able to fix this problem.
