Please also try going in the opposite direction: keep more stuff in
global memory, reduce use of local memory per instance to the point
where you can use a lot higher GWS - like 20480 (10x higher than what's
auto-tuned now) or even higher.  This may result in a speedup through
hiding of global memory access latencies due to the greater concurrency.

You'll need to benchmark these approaches against each other at
different cost settings.
