At the time that I took the measurement above it had only been up for 2 minutes. I tried it again today after 30 minutes of uptime and it was still at 29.8C.
I notice that above it says that it's running each core at 400MHz. This morning it said that it was running 3 cores at 400MHZ and one at 1800MHz. In Windows, it says that it usually runs at 1800MHZ and sometimes goes up to 2900MHz, so I guess the 400MHz is some kind of throttled-back power-saving mode.
Whatever is happening, the performance is surprisingly good for a device that consumes 10w at idle and 30w under stress. The desktop monster that it's replacing uses 70w and 230w respectively.
