This is a serious concern. I've had 3 Macs (Cube, G5 iMac, MacBook) that 
got worse at heat dissipation over time to the point that they could no 
longer do anything CPU-heavy for more than about 15 minutes straight 
without the thermal protection halting the system or in the case of the 
Cube, sometimes NOT halting it before a seemingly hardware-generated 
panic. It's not unreasonable to suspect that as thermal paste ages and 
heat sinks get a layer of insulating dust, the baseline thermal wear is 
a bit higher and high-load events become increasingly risky.
