It wasn't great though - it didn't use spare cycles. It had to be started and run exclusively.

If they baked it in to use cycles when games were paused for instance or made it switch to FAH instead of powering off, it could have been so much more.

Considering PS3 only had 256MB of ram and was using all of it for computations or when running games, I think the chances were pretty slim.

Fair point, I'd forgotten that.

If only they'd released NetHack for PS3, it would have run in the background easily ;-)
