GPU-accelerated LIBSVM is giving speed-ups mainly for big datasets. In the GPU-accelerated implementation some extra time is needed to load the data to the gpu memory. If the dataset is not big enough to give a significant performance gain, the gain is lost due to the gpu-memory -> cpu-memory, cpu-memory -> gpu-memory transfer time. Please refer to the graph above to have a better understanding of the performance gain for different dataset sizes.

Problems also seem to arise when the input dataset contains values with extreme differences (e.g. 107) if no scaling is performed. Such an example is the "breast-cancer" dataset provided in the official LIBSVM page.
