The only thing i know for sure is that the fan kicks in even when performing basic tasks such as using firefox and word... this really disturbes me In this respect I really long for the days of the G3 ibook
This definately has not been the case before, but I dunno if 10.3.6 is to be blamed.

Check to see if your Energy Saver settings were somehow changed after the update.
