My computer doesn't need to use any more electricity in situations where it "decides" to do something as opposed to not doing something

Doesn't it? I thought that e.g. cpu-mining bitcoins would cost you more in electricity than it earns you in bitcoins. Or am I misinterpreting you?

Yeah, that was bad wording from me. See the bit I linked there, it explains it better.
