Ye,I can imagine. Also because there are noticeable difference between 
different CUDA devices. And with OpenCL it can go worse, because there are 
devices of different categories too.

One of my possible idea in order to reduce it, is to merge different blocks on 
the same kernel:serial,"concatenating code",or in "parallel",where each warp 
elaborate different block; In this way is possible to use shared memory(which 
is very small).
But it is complicated(PTX code,while OpenCL can compile more easily; different 
schedule policy) and I will try it at the end,after time spent over more normal 
version,like multiple kernel communicating via global memory on-card. Latency 
will be my hell.
