Is cudaHashcat slower without a desktop manager?

I recently removed gdm3 from my The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2.0 install as I planned on mainly running this machine headless.  I seem to recall getting closer to 200 kH/s between my 2 Nvidia GeForce GTX750TI's.  Now it seems to do around 110 kH/s between the 2 of them.  I could be remembering this wrong as it's been awhile since I fired up cudaHashcat but I'm pretty sure I am seeing the cards run slower.  Would there be anything in gdm3 allowing the cards to run faster?

You still need to run an X server even on headless machines in order to apply the timeout patch and set the appropriate perf level.

Okay thanks again. It's still working, just a little slower.
