Oh nice. Probably OpenCL is not far implemented in the free driver stack but anyway. I used darktable and quite liked it. So some accel won't hurt, even if you probably need the blob drivers for a real boost.

Are there any benchmarks about how much OpenCL improves speed?

In order to have OpenCL with the FOSS drivers work from T.Stellard on the LLVM has to be accepted upstream, right???

I don't know if speed is all that important. I chose nx2 over lightroom because of control points and d-lighting. Speed is nice, but features are nicer.
