Neato!! Is there any way to stop it or speed it up? I think a GPU could probably run Hashlife fairly well.

GPUs are designed to perform massive amounts of parallelized computation. HashLife wasn't designed to be parallel. While parallel implementations of Hashlife might exist, I doubt they could work on a GPU since they all need to access and modify the same hash table.
