Here is 'the fix' according to the Admin over at Collatz: "The "fix" would be removing the Brook+ app and installing a much slower OpenCL version which means fewer credits for you and less work done for the project. I am hoping AMD gets their OpenCL performance issues straightened out before they cease all CAL/Brook+ support." This affects the AMD 4XXX series cards the most right now.
The next release now that the server is up will replace the CAL application with OpenCL. However I've done some hackery so that the actual IL kernel that runs is essentially unchanged and is as fast as the old one.

To get the POEM@Home OpenCL application running I had to use Catalyst 11.12, and I get the MilkyWay computation errors discussed on this thread. Linux x86_64, BOINC 7.0.2, HD4850. Previously MW ran well on this hardware under Windows with older Catalyst. Looking forward to trying the ATI OpenCL app!
