That is if your problem is parallelizable. There are a ton of sequential problems that are hard or impossible to break up.

What would be an example that the NSA would be interested in?

Well I'm not an NSA engineer but I can imagine complex real-time analysis of streaming data, think processing 400+GbE link data. It quickly becomes too much too store, analysis could impose sequential packet dependencies.
Aside from LCS35, most cryptographic problems are about as easy with two processors that are half as fast as one processor that costs twice as much.
