I meant it's poor on this GPU regardless of that bugfix patch. 57M is just three times faster than one CPU core.
Here's a theory: Since mask mode currently picks 26*26 == 676 as multiplier in this case, I have no choice other than to lower GWS all the way to 16384 (ending up in a KPC of 11075584) to keep kernel duration short enough to avoid triggering watchdogs and rebooting the whole thing. I presume the "low" GWS is the reason for the poor performance. Maybe it would be way better with a multipler of 26 and a GWS of 524288... in *this* case.
Maybe the kernel can be improved (reducing need for high GWS) but regardless of that, this means auto-tuning will be trickier: You need to figure out not only the GWS but the best *combination* of GWS and GPU-side mask that completes in less than 200ms.
