I think sprofile is useful, it's just that my laptop GPU is so weak I
can't draw any conclusions.

Your profiling info was with LWS=GWS. Please try this if you have the time:

1. Pull latest git
2. Run with KPC=0 (I expect it to pick 4096 or higher as best)
3. Do another profiling run with the best KPC

The ALU figures (and speed) should go up a lot (I hope). If they are
not, the profiling info should tell why.

thanks,
