> Another approach (not necessarily mutex to yours) would be to split the transfer. Let's say we have a work size of 1M. At, say, the 256K'th call to set_key(), it could initiate a transfer of this first fourth of keys to GPU. This transfer will not stall the host side, it will take place while we continue with the next 256K keys. And so on. If we can balance this properly we should get rid of much of the transfer delay. Maybe we should split it in 8 or 16, maybe less.

Well, it is easy to (somehow) implement your idea. Good gain.

------
But, this not enought to do the trick. Below, I measure only the GPU 
part in auto-tune. I expect to be at 113M not 17M.
Is it only set_key() to blame? Btw: auto-tune on unstable goes at 19M.
