I'll give this up for a while and concentrate on other run-time tweaks: I'm currently experimenting with a way for the formats to pass stuff like "-DHASH_LOOP=1024" when building the kernel. This way things can be fully unrolled or otherwise optimised even when parameters are chosen at run-time.

I've seen like 20 seconds, but never 20 minutes. I have also seen (fairly weak) evidence that my kernel splits are resulting in better performance instead of worse, likely because the resulting kernels are using a fixed and fairly low number of loops [so are unrolled] as opposed to a variable and fairly high number [so are not].
