I wouldn't even bother the freezer route, by the time you've clamped it down it will pretty much be at ambient temp. As others have pointed out, try increasing your feedrates, and if it's still struggling reduce the depth of cut per pass but keep the federate up.
One factor that really contributes badly when cutting plastics, is not clearing the debris well enough with a dust extractor, so it keeps re-cutting the waste and heating up.
