Update your OpenGL drivers, and edit Minetest.conf (in the minetest folder) by adding a line that says ''video_driver = opengl'' (without quotes)
and also, when posting a topic, PLEASE explain the topic in the topic, not the topic title. As in, please say something in the topic.

I've heard that the latest 0.4.2 RC1 version (check nightly builds on the download page) has lower cpu usage.

I run Minetest from a laptop and was experiencing overheating and such until I had a look through the minetest.conf.example as well as through defaultsettings.cpp. I made my minetest.conf be as minimal as possible while still being practical and it has made all the difference. Have a look through the minetest conf example and try some settings that work for your system. Be sure to make a backup of your original conf, first.
