The wrapper's role with regards to speed is fairly minimal, in that it needs to perform efficiently to minimize the overheard associated with distributing work. The wrapper can't just magically pull 1 TH on its own, the hardware in the cluster and the backend software have to already be capable of achieving those numbers; the wrapper's job is to not fuck it up and kill performance with too much overhead. Without knowing the hardware in the cluster or the attack ran, we have no way of knowing how efficient the wrapper is. Therefore claiming it is capable of achieving some number is meaninglessness.
Also 1 TH isn't really that spectacular. We've built Hashcat clusters that achieve over 6.5 TH @ 99.2% efficiency.
Very impressive results there. Out of interest what hash algorithm / hash type was that result attained with?
