Wasted compute cycles running screen savers

In the spirit of the SETI project, I'm asking myself again... Why do we spend money for really expensive machines that spend over 1/2 their time rendering whiz bang screen savers? A company could make a killing with a distributed agent that used those cycles to solve business problems instead of displaying a screen saver.
