Absolutely! Things get a lot easier if you aren't bothering with a UI.

Again, though, I'm not sure this would be an optimal solution for the average user. The increased load on the phone is sure to drain the battery faster and possibly interfere with other running apps; I can just see users who start it running and forget that it's there wondering why their phone seems to be acting up.
