Yes, that's why I don't hesitate using MorphOS on my dual-CPU G5 even though the 2nd CPU runs at full steam in vain, and also why I don't hesitate using my G5 for video playback even though it's quite energy inefficient at doing this :-)

I can't either, that's why I leave my G5 running, and instead of playing back video on another device while my G5 is running and consuming energy like mad, I take the opportunity and make use of that G5 for video playback :-)
