Default Running hot

Am I the only one whose CPU temperature hovers around 85C(!) when running the current 5.6.1 DisplayLink drivers? As soon as I disconnect my DisplayLink dock, the temperature drops significantly to a more reasonable 45C (or thereabouts).

Is this the price we pay for DisplayLink docks?

Any plans to make the next driver iteration less stressful in terms of temperature?

(Note that CPU usage is rarely goes over 30% in either scenario in idling mode.)

Otherwise, and for the record, I am pretty happy with my DisplayLink-based dock.
