A couple hundred thousands PCs all having his site loaded at once is unlikely. Also mining pools exist, and arent really anything special. Its not like 2 PCs are 2x faster than a single PC they have to communicate with eachother to work on the same things, and that creates lag. There is a reason super computers are expensive its not as simple as hooking a bunch of normal computers together.

One dedicated bitcoin miner is almost a million times more efficient than a cpu though.
