Thank you very much Jim, your suggestion was very helpful.  The
figures without and with opencl are 17.470 and 15.871 sec,
respectively, corresponding to an opencl-related improvement in
performance of around 9%.  I have to say I am a bit underwhelmed by
the benefits of opencl (or by the graphic card in the latest MacBook
Pro, if that's the culprit).

cheers
giuseppe
