I have tested myrice PG-test branch without any tweaks:
OpenCL platform 0: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing, 2 device(s).
Using device 0: Tahiti
Local work size (LWS) 128, Global work size (GWS) 65536
Loaded 12906 password hashes with no different salts (Raw MD5 [OpenCL])
end self test

Myrice's kernel is spilling into scrach registers which might be the reason
for lower performance. Most likely you had tested it with
a different driver. One thing I noticed in myrice's kernel was that it was
using too many kernel arguments. Increasing kernel args increases VGPR
usage count which in turn results in register spilling.
I am trying to introduce a hash table but that again increases VGPR count.
I would try to minimize VGPR usage so that I can introduce a few more
kernel arguments.
Also can you post a list of 10M hashes?
