Wow. That's almost one half the CPU speed now. This is starting to
make sense.

Are you analyzing the generated code for blowfish-opencl?
What memory type(s) does it use for S-boxes?
How many instances of bcrypt are you computing in parallel on 7970?
If more than 512, then what happens if you reduce it to 512 (the maximum
that may fit in Local Data Share) or lower? (Yes, this means that we'd
be using at most 25% of the processing capacity, yet it might be the best
option.)
Thanks,
Alexander
