That had crossed my mind, but I dismissed it -- it also happens when running from a USB flashdrive.
I mean, the notebook gets so hot it starts to stink. I don't know if it's the CPU or the video (VIA Unichrome, which is not directly supported in DSL) or other processors or what...but all these live Linux distributions seem to cause it.
It's kind of scary. I don't know if there's something in these that disables thermal shutdowns or what, and I'm reluctant to do a permanent install if it's going to pose a danger to my gear.
I had also thought that perhaps these live distributions are somehow more computationally intense in live mode.
I'm stumped.
