Sometimes I think that if I'm not working on a long render in the
background, I'm just wasting CPU cycles forever.  I wish I could save them
up for when I needed them!

Perhaps in the near future the networking will exist to allow a CPU co-op to
easily exist on the internet.  In my idle hours my machine could handle
renders from others.  Then when I'm activly working on something, I'd farm
out renders to other machines.
