The Cell in the PS3 is down 2 SPEs. One is dedicated to the OS and one is disabled to increase yields.
As if, OS performance usage is wasted...
IMO it makes sense to dedicate one SPE to the OS at this point while they are adding features. You act as if the developers are already maxing out the 6 other SPEs while in fact they are only scratching the surface and various multiplatform games and Genji 2 (which is visually impressive using only the PPE and RSX) are yet to use the SPEs.
