For a straight dictionary attack against a raw hash algorithm, these numbers will be equal. Yours aren't equal because it looks like you are doing a rule-based attack -- probably wordlist.txt + best64.rule based on the numbers, 64760000 / 847650 =~ 76.4 and best64.rule has 78 rules.
Yes i am using a best64 rule. could you explain more on the number of words being hashed per second and the plains being hashed per second. Yes i am using a rule based attack.
Say i am trying to find out the number of hashes generated per second. How do i go about calculating it?
Sorry didnt really understand your explanation.
