I agree, but I have doubts to see OpenCL on linux before the end of the year. 
It might comes in proprietary drivers some time this year, but I would still 
only expect them to be available in fall or winter. And for open source 
drivers, we might get some developement version, but I have doubt we will get 
something usefull (even in developement version) before next year (see [1] for 
latest update, but note that both phoronix and Zack Rusin are usually over 
optimistic on schedules/features).

That said, I trully believe OpenCL is definitively the way to go over GLSL.
