While I agree that it appears to be superior to zinc oxide stuff, the
results don't automatically justify the use of it on sub 1GHz CPUs. Some
of our PCs have been running for years continuously without any heat
problems. It may be because none of the CPUs are faster than 850MHz. And
besides, we have loads of Sudocream left over.

True but the reverse can also apply.
