The OpenCL format currently only auto-tunes local work-size (THREADS) so it too runs at suboptimal conditions. The global work-size defauls to the same figure the CUDA format use. It does support LWS/GWS environment variables though:
$ GWS=$((256*1024)) ../run/john -t -fo:pwsafe-opencl -plat=1
OpenCL platform 1: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing, 2 device(s).
Device 0: Tahiti (AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series)
Local worksize (LWS) 64, Global worksize (GWS) 262144
Benchmarking: Password Safe SHA-256 [OpenCL]... DONE
Raw: 362411 c/s real, 78643K c/s virtual
No huge difference though.
In bleeding, Claudio has added a shared function for tuning GWS. I haven't had time to try it out yet.
