I use the yes command to defrost my lunch. I open up a couple of tabs running
yes > /dev/null
Then place my frozen lunch on the back of my macbook. Give it an hour or so and boom, defrosted.

Their ingenious solution was to always run the system towards the warmer end of its spec, and so it included a program that would monitor the temperature inside the case, and would spawn/kill a bunch of threads doing compute intensive math in order to keep the temperature constant when the users workload wasn't enough!
The laser cutter I operate simply has reverse cycle air conditioner mounted in one of the cabinet doors.

Then your hot lunch will buy you another hot lunch down the road!
So, you're basically thawing your lunch manually. Have you considered the "parallel" command?
parallel -- yes yes yes yes >/dev/null
parallel -- `sed -ne 's:^processor.*:yes:p' < /proc/cpuinfo`
parallel -- `perl -e 'printf("yes "x\`sysctl -n hw.ncpu\`)'`
edit : hnlmorg beat me to it :)
for p in `seq 1 $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)`; do yes > /dev/null & done
