Boinc, Folding at Home and Seti at Home show it. The work to be done is always
bigger than the cpu cycles available. And the more data the map will
contain the longer the clients will take for a tile. So it is already
foreseeable that the cpu cycles on the clients will not be enough.

I see the idling client to be a physcological problem. If you donate a
CPU to t at h you want it to be used and feel not accepted when the client
idles.
