Hmm.... darcs is not impressing me as a good choice of version control
systems. I mean, yes I'm spoiled with git being able to merge
hundreds of patches is seconds, but this is rediculous! :-)

I've tried running for it for a while, and THM0 and THM1 are in the
80-83 degree range, but it's not going above that. According to THM1
has a passive trip point at 96 degrees, and a critical trip point at
100 degrees, but with your test case I'm not going anywhere near that
level.

Just for yucks I tried running a second copy of your test case (since
I hae a dual-core processor), and with the second core also busy 100%,
I was able to drive the temperature up another degree or two, but that
was about it.
