On a side note the above must mean a kernel duration of 1.64 seconds. Targetting 200 ms, 512K would be sane. Are we losing a lot of performance at 512K? (testing that) OK I get 1693Mc/s so we lose 2%.

The key buffer should be 640KB (n.b. not MB) in this case. Considering we only have a single hash, I wonder what is using hundreds of megabytes of memory?

BTW when testing a GWS of 512K only 773MB was used so the difference in memory footprint between 64K and 512K is much less than between 512K and 4M. I wonder why.
