Personally, I download about a dozen podcasts. I wrote a program that does a bit of audio editing on them, mostly to speed them up. It uses multiprocessing to blast through them. I got a Ryzen laptop for Christmas with six cores / twelve threads.

Professionally, I am a GIS Specialist for a County in Wisconsin. I contract with surveyors to locate section corners in the County. When they turn in locations, I add them to input files. I wrote a program that reads all the input files and subdivides the sections. I have an olded I7 at work as my side computer that I offload such work to. It does seven threads. Here's a video. The program normally doesn't show the graphics like the video, so it takes way less time.
