I was fitting my brand new Damnation the other day and my wicked setup finally left me with a solid amount both of tfu's and MW's.
So, I asked myself: what if these unused resources could be transfered into something really handy? The spare CPU actually could increase either scan resolution or sensor strength or both simultaniously. I propose something like the following formula:
Increase = 5% * (CPU_left)^0.5 - the idea is that, say, 100 CPU remaining should not give you an *omg* huge bonus. This ^0.5 is supposed to balance the things a bit.
Let's assume we have something like 36 tf units left.
In this case the actual increase (of whatever kind it might be) is 5% * 36^0.5 = 30%
30% of extra signature resolution, targeting range etc.
16 spare tfu will net us a 20% increase. Not a big difference with the '36 tf' case, but it does exist.
Sure thing, these coefficients (5% and 0.5 in the formula above) should be tweaked to obtain the best results.
Similarly the MWs can be treated. The spare PG could improve cap or shield recharge rate etc.
Feel free to flame the idea to the hell and back. I'm pretty sure you will

makes sense, came across this 'hmm I have spare cpu' conumdrum today in fact.
Also it all makes sense fiction-wise

sure it would be great for it to have a use.
if i have spare CPU/PG i swear alot and curse that i havent used it all, then after 6+ refits i give up and do something else 
at least this way i will know it has a use.

sure.. extra cpu could benifit some aspects..
extra powergrid could boost your recharge rate of your capacitor (don't make it shield recharge rate though.. wouldn't be fair to armor tankers)

Extra cpu power would help in translating collating data, so scanning targeting and the like would be faster. Correct me if Im wrong, but a ships capacitor acts like a power storage facility, you power plant puts out a set amount of power which powers your modules, would'nt spare power get dumped into the capacitor anyway?
This is actually a common sense thing, actually, I'm supprised that this is the first time ive seen this subject come up, and kick myself for not thinking of it myself!

Spare CPU should not translate to increased ship abilities for those unable to come up with a setup that utilizes resources fully.

I kind of like the idea. Having sparse setups allow for more optimized performance could be really cool. And it might translate into haulers having a signal resolution greater than a dreadnaught's, which is long overdue in my opinion.

Yep, I know Thron is a very CPU-tight ship 
However, think of it this way: can a pilot who sets up an any given ship deserve some bonus for fitting his boat with a bith less resources than his mate who uses the same boat but have already exhausted all the potentialities?
As for me, I can come up with a setup that utilizes resources fully. It's not the point.
I simply propose to recude the amount of cookie-cutter setups. The idea is to give folks an ability to choose wheather to go with a maxed up fittings or to sacrifice something (say, place an adaptive nano plating instead of EANM) in order to gain those modest bonuses (they shouldn't be high, anyway).

How about introducing T3 modules with adjustable consumption settings,
Example
1 Capacitor power Relay
Currently Uses 0MW and increases Cap Recharge Rate by 10%-15%
New T3 Model can be adjusted to use up to 20MW in 0.5MW increments, each 0.5MW
increase in Grid use produces an extra 0.5% in Cap recharge rate.
Other Modules that could be given adjustable CPU Grid consumtion settings are
Grid:
Shield Flux Coils
Shield Extenders
Armor Repairers
Energy Transfer Arrays
Remote Armor Repairers
Shield Transfer Arrays
CPU:
Sensor Boosters
Mining Lasers
Shield Hardeners
Armor Hardeners
Signal Amplifiers
ECM/ECCM Equipment
Target painters
To prevent Uber combinations, set a limitation that Only one Grid and One CPU variable device can be fitted to a ship. Also the devices have a limited range so you cant dump a ships entire grid/cpu thru the one module.
