It all depends on the profitability and mining efficiency of that CPU really. But yeah, it's certainly something worth considering. The same idea can be applied to graphics cards. If you buy a high-end graphics card, as long as it makes more money mining than it uses in electricity, might as well let it pay for itself, mining whenever it's not in use.
