FYI, I am seeing 49% GPU usage when running your keychain-opencl code
currently in magnum-jumbo on FX-8120 and HD 7970. This is a non-OpenMP
build. So a 2x speedup might be possible with the same OpenCL kernel
by optimizing the CPU code and/or running it simultaneously with the GPU
code. To better support the latter, I am going to introduce support for
"block IDs" into the formats interface, so that you could interleave two
such blocks.
