Im not interested for the reason that there is no such thing as "free cpu cycles".
When your cpu is idle it is at minimum power consumption. When working hard crunching numbers the power consumption is much greater, your cpu heats up and you pay for it on your electricity bill. Its about the equivalent of constantly running another light bulb in the home.
