I have an application where I definitely need multicore support. I've got a server running a I/O bound application over a RAID array capable of 150+ MB/s. All the data stored on disk needs to be encrypted. Unfortunately, my I/O throughput caps out at around 80-90 MB/s, even though there is plenty of spare CPU power (it is a quad-core system).
I admit that needing full-disk encryption on a server is probably a bit of a rarity, but there are a few of us out here that actually need to do that. :)
