Not quite sure where to put this thread, but oh well, it's a bit of a newb question...
I wrote a data processing application that does some sorts, a few hashes sprinkled in, with a few i/o read/writes in there somewhere. The only problem is it takes a LONG time to do it on my computer, about 3-4 days, and my computer wastes masses of energy in the processes (500W PSU and a wasteful processor)... I've been thinking of porting it to the Wii, but I'm concerned that the Wii would catch on fire or something, if I leave it on for more than a day :p
tl;dr: Would it be okay to leave my Wii on for more than 3 days to process some data (high cpu usage, whilst low memory)?
Edit: On a side note, how hard is using multithreading in Wii homebrew?
Edit 2:
Ironically, the Wii is only 26% slower than using C# .NET on my computer with this application, whilst it's a lot slower than using C++ on my computer.
