[Ti] Overheating PB G4?

Seems like what I am noticing, too.  My Ti 800DVI also seems to be running
hotter and fans seem to be running more. Normally, I seldom EVER hear my
Powerbook's fan(s) kick in.  Even gaming, I could set the energy saver to
"battery" and the Powerbook would rarely get hot at all.

I was able to install 10.2.8 without any noticeable problem (or so I
thought!).  The battery life indicator (time remaining) does seem off,
though.  Anyone else noticing similar functional "changes"?
