Re: GEGL OpenCL Porting

Thanks for the quick fix, it's working on my system. 

I noticed that you've enabled GPU's by default due to some testing. Where can I find these results? According to my tests among two operations Edge-laplace and Video-degradation (currently on my bitbucket branches: edge_upstrm, vid_upstrm), OpenCL on my GPU performs 7.8x slower than my CPU. 

The following are some results for the Video-Degradation operation. I took the average over 5 trials and the units are in seconds. On my CPU, I was able to achieve a 37.6x average speed up using OpenCL than without it. Enabling multiple threads increases my times ~0.01s.

Please let me know if you spot anything wrong with my measuring methodology or OpenCL implementation. Also, is the mailing-list and the bugzilla both suitable places to submit patches? 

Thanks,
Nanley
