Today games rely mostly on GPU and CPU have usually lots of cycles to waste. Also PS3 is quite problematic because it has only one core that can do regular computing properly. Well, SPUs can do a lot of floating point operations, but the problem is more advanced stuff you make more it usually requires from GPU also. So its like using regular(small ones) ship engines to help commercial tanker go faster.
