This one doesn't auto-tune.  Gives same speeds to me.

These two don't auto-tune.  They use OpenMP.  With
GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-31, they give stable same speeds to me, regardless
of recent changes (obviously).

So all of the worst results for Tahiti (10% or greater slowdown seen in
magnum's posting) are actually spurious, not regressions of the
auto-tuning changes.
