I could not get DMG-opencl to benchmark after this (I assume that was 
the reason). It was hanging indefinitely (hours) in CPU post-processing. 
I now set affinity 0-31 and all was fine again.

BTW I have changed all formats to skip CPU post-processing during 
auto-tune. There are cons but, I think, mainly pros.
