Re: "those defaults are unsuitable for MBP laptops."
You got this completely wrong.
People (including the blogger reporting the problem originally) have re-run their tests with the software fix. And they all get the same picture: Instead of wildly varying clock speed and temperature, the clock speed know stays quite high, and the temperature stays quite high. It's very evident from the charts that the original software slowed down the CPUs much more than was needed, lowering the temperature much more than was needed. It's like driving in a 50mph speed limit, and when you spot a speeding camera you slow down from 55mph to 25mph. Instead the 50mph that a reasonable person would do. That's fixed.
The charts also show that with or without fix, the expensive processor runs at max speed. Just for a short time. And that's fine, because you are sold a "base speed" that the new software can sustain 24/7 and a "turbo speed" that both old and new software runs for maybe 25 seconds. Exactly what the specs on the paper say.
