How exactly worse?

I just compared code on two branches and I don't think that what you
did it is the proper way of doing split kernel...
I guess it should be clear to see using profiler.

The result you are giving here is for add 0 optimization and 4
kernels, and I guess the latter is the problem here.
This really confused me until I noticed a real big difference between
two branches - not just unrolling one loop.
Please be more specific in the future, otherwise we will be wasting time.
Just by moving code around I was able to do 32k out out this and most
of that should be applicable to the first result you mentioned.
You should clean up your code before moving forward, just count the
amount of tables you are dealing with, there is no need to copy data
back and forth from one to another. Also please review included header
files, for example there is no need to define SWAP_ENDIANNES_64 where
we already have likely faster SWAP64.
