I find it strange...

When I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 - DT was at version 2.0.5 and nvidia 361. I actually experienced speed "gain" - did not clock it but it was very noticeable. I worked in this state for several weeks - all happy, no changes in settings to DT.

2.0.6 was installed on 2016-09-06. I noticed it works but did not test any further. Then I didn't use the computer till 11th. Installed the following updates

and noticed drop in performance - mainly when using darktable (not much light table). Took a chance to turn off open CL and the performance improved. After reading the thread

https://www.mail-archive.com/darktable-dev@lists.darktable.org/msg01176.html

Tried to compare with export of a single image.
without open CL - 23s for about 20 MB RAW.
Same image - no change
with open CL - 41s

The OS and the images are stored on SSD so the networking does not come into play. I can work without open CL - it is not a deal breaker but the behavior is surprising.

Regards,
B

There was a thread on the -dev list with someone else having slowness
on Ubuntu 16.04 with OpenCL on nVidia and it looked like a driver
issue. They switched from version 361 of the nVidia driver to 340 and
saw an improvement, might be worth trying.
