it's all about acceleration, read: https://hashcat.net/faq/morework
if there is much I/O slowdown, but little new input for hashcat, the GPU can't really accelerate, it will stay idle... instead if you provide a lot of work for hashcat very fast, it can keep the GPUs busy (i.e. accelerate to its max).
