That's true. I profiled darktable 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 using dt-cli (command
line interface). It gave me more or less same times. Then I wondered it
could be a problem with GTK+

I also did some tests with OpenCL enabled and disabled (I'm using a Intel
Iris graphic) and dt-cli versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5. Times with OpenCL were
~1.5 faster than CPU in both versions.

With Intel Iris graphic card I don't have blur effect in previews but I
have green rendering.
It's reported as issue for Intel graphic cards.

I didn't know it only happens with Nikon NEF files.
