Good point, but... The question you need to ask is: how much money is it worth to you to crack a file? If it costs me the same amount in service fees as time on a supercomputer would, I'm not going to bother, am I? Another point regarding encryption is, if I have streaming data coming at me in encrypted blobs from 150 different sources over the net (say, a movie file), what kind of desktop machine would I need to do all that decryption in real time? Maybe I'm not saving resources on my local system after all...
