Weird ?
I am really just guessing here but I think it has something to do with the fact that bruteforcing can be done with little communication between the GPU and the rest of the system. So the actual algorithms are quicker but the PCI-e interface is slower for some reason. You would think rules would improve the situation as they could be transferred over to video RAM and all the rule modifications would be done on the GPU, but perhaps that is not how it is done?
I really have no idea about how all this works though, this is just my very uneducated guess. Hopefully atom can pop in and enlighten us. :)
