Not really CPU Wise
In a benchmark i found, 2.2ghz turion can calculate 32 million digits of pi as fast as a 1.2ghz core 2 duo

Cinebench rendering a 2.2ghz turion is equal to a 1.8ghz version of your processor (same generation)

Ghz means very little now in processors, that race is over.

As for my specs
15.4" Macbook Pro (classic not unibody)
2.4ghz Core 2 Duo
4GB DDR2 667mhz 4-4-4-12
8600GT 256MB GDDR3
500GB Harddrive
Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) / Windows 7 RC (Win XP Home SP3 Before that)
3dconnexion Space Navigator PE and VX Revolution

Heat isn't really a problem. Long battery life is nice. As is thinness =P. Heat is nice in winter actually, makes my room warmer than rest of the house =P

In my room it sits on wire and wood rack i built (using a letter tray =D) that is 6" off the ground. I have used it with 100% cpu usage on my lap, burns when it hits my bare legs due to shorts but never uncomfortable. In OSX check out SMC fan control. I have had my processor at 85C for like 1 hour before mac kicked the fans in. Windows is much faster to kick them in but I think its because graphics card gets more use.
