What can you usefully do with underutilised processing power? (E.g. spare computer and server time).
So far the best I can come up with is running Folding@home. But it seems like there should be a way to sell server space etc.

Damn, I’m embarrassed to say the tradeoff had never occurred to me. Even after doing research on other similar types of power consumption. I guess I had just assumed processor power was a fixed overhead.
