With current tasks taking a very long time, 16 hours in my case.
Has there been any thought into the ability to use more than 1 cpu ?

No, application is single-threaded.

Why it is too long?

'cause not all home-user pc are active 24/7 and sometimes (some projects) has not precise checkpoints (if they have any)
Reboot, turn off, etc could create problems so, a multi-thread app/gpu app could reduce these - reducing runtime

But SiDock has working checkpoints.Just change the "write to disk every xx seconds" to a low value for good working.
