Curiosity was eating at me, so I ran some test. @Snoopy, you are correct. For anyone interested here is the results of my little experiment.
GPU Hardware: NVidia 3090 & NVidia 2060 Super
Dictionary File: 5.9 Million lines
Dictionary File with 3 digits added to each line (100-999): 3.2 Billion lines
Capture file with (2) 22000 hashes
I purposely chose a hash that would not be cracked, so that all candidates would be tried.
hashcat -a6 -m22000 -1 123456789 capture.22000 dict-nonumbers ?1?d?d -w3
Total time = 41 minutes
hashcat -a0 -m22000 capture.22000 dict-withnumbers -w3
Total time = 52 minutes
A 21% performance difference is substantial. I assumed wrong
