There is no change in fan speed here when I start picasa. I am pretty
sure that picasa has no control over the fan speed so the only thing
that could be causing the increase in fan speed is increased CPU
activity. You need to look at the setup. Check what folders picasa in
monitoring and if you have a lot of activity in those ( like say you
have changed things with iPhoto ) then it is perfectly normal for the
CPU usage to go up. It'll go back down once the process is completed
and your fan will eventually spin down.
I fail to see the appeal of picasa especially now that iPhoto 09 is
out. Picasa cannot upload to facebook has no face recognition and even
with the web interface face recognition on iPhoto works a lot better.
But to each his/her own ...
