Is there any desktop software that today you spend time waiting on that you really wish used multithreading or GPU resources that isn't a game?

Excel would be nice, I know there is a free office version that uses OpenCL but it's not accurate enough.

I wish UnRAR could use multiple cores (like RAR), but reportedly it doesn't lend itself to parallelization, so even if it were multi-core aware it would only use one core.

anything and everything

and support for 8 cores at the very least. and support for more cores than that like maybe 20 would work more

this is more of a software section than hardware right?
