Texture Swizzling. That's pretty much the only spot where GPU processing can be utilized in any effective manner. Speedup would be nil in most games, but could be pretty useful in a few specific games. One offhand I know of is Soul Calibur 3. There are a couple others where the swizzle count goes over 20k, but games that do so are pretty scarce, thus why it's really not been a priority of ours.
