 This [/wiki/CSC CSC] module takes advantage [http://www.khronos.org/opencl/ OpenCL] backends to parallelize the conversion process and speed things up.
 Backends are available for many types of {{{GPU}}}s and {{{CPU}}}s.
+
+The performance of the OpenCL backends vary widely, generally speaking {{{GPU}}}s have the edge over {{{CPU}}}s despite the added cost of having to transfer the data to and from the {{{GPU}}}. More importantly, whilst the {{{GPU}}} is busy doing CSC, the {{{CPU}}} is free for other tasks, which reduces overall system load and latency.
