There's a lengthy thread on the Apple forums about this as well. Two additional points there are attached external monitors result in more wattage for the additional graphics card resulting in more heat resulting in higher fan rates. Also the Intel "turbo mode", that is enabled by default results in higher (and useless) utilization of the CPU resulting in more heat etc. etc.
