Hmmm... I've got my MacBook sitting on top of a laptop cooling pad with 3 fans & the internal fan rarely ever comes on.

From the link:

I just modified some .kext files to tell when my mbp to kick in the fans and to run them a bit faster. Now my processor is 40?f-50?f cooler, and 5?c-10?c for all you out of the usa. Battery life is maybe 5min shorter, and the fans are not all that much louder.

That's a *big* drop.

Glad yours is no problem, Dave, but there have been a lot of complaints about the heat. There were some with the early MacBooks, too, but they've seemed to die down.
