TMTO is nothing a defender can chose. It's only a setting for the attacker. The attacker can reduce the calculation time by using more memory. You very likely should not touch the value automatically chosen by hashcat. Furthermore you don't want to "look at the speed of scypt with TMTO". You just want to crack the hash.
The scrypt parameters are not related to any TMTO.
Ah, thanks for thanks for the info. I guess I still have some reading to do. I was thinking TMTO and scrypt parameters were the same thing. We all want to crack the hash but if it's too slow to have a realistic chance I'll need a plan b that's why I was saying what I was saying.
