This is a Camino bug I believe
This is actually a good thing! 34 C was probably incorrect because some Core duo chips have a bug that prevents the temp from being read correctly. 46 c is what is should be. The firmware probably just has a software patch to fix the hardware bug.
The core duo bug does not prevent the machine from working correctly tho, as the temp is actually read from the heat sync and not the CPU. Use smcFancontrol to get the temp from the heat sync.
No problems with the update on the Mac Pro here...
Probably this one. I've been backing up my bookmarks for awhile now just in case and am using an optimized nightly build with extra logging enabled in the event it does happen (they can obtain more info to find out what is causing it).This is a Camino bug I believethis deleted my camino bookmarks... they are apparently now in an unreadable format.
I'm not getting the Camera RAW update. Is that because I have Aperture 1.5.1 isntalled ? Could it be that it already has that update ?
Nor am I getting the X11 update.
Done the Firmware update with zero issues (iMac 20" C2D). Firewire still works (I disconnected everything before applying the update).

No, I got it too and I stopped holding the button as soon as the light started pulsating. I think it's normal.
Yeah I think this might be the source of peoples Temp increases. Basically some core duo chips stop updating the temp value when they go into a particular powersaving mode.
So when the machine wakes from sleep the cpu will update the temp for a few secs and then stop.
Anyway I've not had change to update my Macbook yet to see if the temp issue is fixed for me.
The question is now is has the bug been fixed by preventing the core duo from entering the powersaving mode? This could probably make chips run hotter?
For more info google intel and AE18 the id of the bug.
I've installed the upgrade on my MB, it seemed to be quicker going to sleep (light flashing) after closing the lid but not sure if that's related to how many apps I've got running/swapped out compared to normal ie not as many.
However, I tried it a few more times and it failed to find my preferred wireless network on one occasion. I was hoping I wouldn't see this happen again!
Temperature seems unaffected (monitored with coreduotemp) - I've had the all the previous EFI/SMC firmware upgrades installed. CPU frequency (according to coreduotemp) still seems stay at 2Ghz for the majority of the time though, prior to the last lot of firmware upgrades I'm sure it used to step down a lot more.

just rebooting makes it snappier
But, I don't have any idea about what's wrong with your dong.
It's probably snappier simply because you rebooted, clearing everything out of memory.

after rebooting now, my fan immediately goes to 2500 and then winds down. I am using the Fan Control in the Preferences Pane and once it winds down, it sits at about 1600 and 122 degrees. The bottom is now hot to the touch.
Any adjustments that I make to the fan do not seem to work!

Try holding the power button on the machine until you hear a long tone and then see if it boots.
Interesting I have been experiencing a startup bug on my 20" Core 2 iMac, basically on cold boots I get the startup manager (as if option pressed) on virtually every boot. Shame Apple is not more specific about the startup issues that have been fixed.
Currently my machine is at an Apple authorized service center to try and sort out my startup problem, so far they cannot reproduce.... So this puts it down to maybe a USB device causing it to think option has been pressed, very odd and might land me with a repair bill if they cannot reproduce.
If you have any suggestions please see my thread on Apples forums for full details.

Fixes bad wake-from-sleep behavior in MacBook Pro
This is a welcome update. I had been irritated with just how long it took the MacBook Pro to wake from sleep. Often it would wake up, put up the security dialog, and then, if I didn't get back to it fast enough, hide that panel. I would then hit a key or move the mouse and WAIT for 30 or 40 seconds before the security dialog would be shown again. This odd behavior has been remedied. Now, upon waking from sleep, the security panel comes right up, accepts my password right away, and I can get down to business with no problems.
Good job, Apple.

I updated earlier today, and didn't unplug anything. I had an USB issue after the reboot; the keyboard stopped working. It was plugged into a USB hub. Oddly, the USB hard drive I had plugged into the same hub still worked. (So did my firewire 400 and 800 drives. ) Unplugging and reconnecting the hub solved the problem.
Recommend unplugging hubs.
This was on an iMac 24".

My Macbook is also about 10 degree's warmer (@ 52C) but I'm not hearing any whines though.
Update doesn't work here on my Mac Pro. I get the flashing, the beep and then the progress indicator pops up for a split second, and the machine reboots without having done the update (the update window comes up again when the Mac is up and running again). Go figure. I will try a manual download instead of using software update and see if it helps.
