Loading large number of hashes means that it takes more time to check those
hashes rather than generating them. I have few plans such as using local
memory to store as many hashes as possible, should easily store 2048 hashes
or even more depending on how many bytes per hash is being stored. Then
cache them on the fly if more hashes are loaded than what could be stored
in local memory. Or use the global memory entirely because caching will
have some overhead too.
