NB: There are some apps, which theoretically *should* benefit massively
from GPGPU, which are actually hurt by it.
Case in point: TMPGEnc, using CUDA. Video encoding has long been touted
as one of the best areas for improvement via GPGPU.
On a GeForce 260, it's actually *slower* than a Core 2 Quad 6600 (2.4gHz).
Imagine a dual-processor six-core Xeon system (12 cores, 24 threads) and
you'd need a few dozen GPUs (running literally *thousands* of threads)
to match the performance.
