A lot of users have graphic cards from NVIDIA or AMD which offer an API for GPU-processing.
For a lot of tasks GPUs are _way_ faster than CPUs, e.g. my Photoshop plugin for NeatImage went from more than 1 minute for processing a 24 MP photo down to 2 seconds when they added OpenCL support to their plugin.
Wouldn't that be great for PP? Right it PP is by far the slowest link in my processing chain.
