I modified the oclExample.sh script to take arguments passed on the command line. Here is the performance with -n 800

I found that the APU paired with a 6950 (Cayman, 830Mhz clock) increased the h/s slightly. Unfortunately, the APU paired with a 5870 (Cypress) decreases the h/s. I'm eagerly anticipating the next release of oclHashcat-lite that will allow running on mis-matched GPUs.
PS this is what hashcat gets running on the CPU (same hash from the oclExample.sh):
