The bcrypt function intentionally requires quite a lot of CPU cycles to complete. In addition to that, not having its full state constantly in the CPU L1 cache causes a massive performance drop. These properties slow down brute-force attacks against low-entropy inputs (typically passwords), and GPU-based attacks get little to no advantages over CPUs.
