Hey,

I found out that using more or less huge wordlists for the left mask affects oclHashcat's performance very much:
Code:
Status.......: Running
Hash.Type....: NTLM
Mode.Left....: Dict '..\wordlists\insidepro\InsidePro (Full) - 1.dic' (2065950)
Mode.Right...: Dict '..\wordlists\insidepro\InsidePro (Full) - 2.dic' (1646243)
Speed.GPU*...:   94.0M/s
Recovered....: 2/1169163 Digests, 0/1 Salts
Progress.....: 190292244480/3401055725850 (5.60%)
Running......: 8 mins, 15 secs
Estimated....: 9 hours, 29 mins
HW.Monitor.#1:  3% GPU, 52c Temp

so i splitted the left wordlist into multiple parts:
Code:
Status.......: Running
Hash.Type....: NTLM
Mode.Left....: Dict '..\tmp\ip1_1' (172580)
Mode.Right...: Dict '..\wordlists\insidepro\InsidePro (Full) - 2.dic' (1646243)
Speed.GPU*...: 1136.0M/s
Recovered....: 6/1169162 Digests, 0/1 Salts
Progress.....: 255170042880/284108616940 (89.81%)
Running......: 3 mins, 56 secs
Estimated....: 25 secs
HW.Monitor.#1: 91% GPU, 65c Temp

how about only caching a predefined part of the left wordlist (like done by hashcat) to gain optimal performance on every wordlist size?

no, its already doing the caching. reasons for your speed must be something different.
