slow using rules

[enervate]

11300 (bitcoin) is slow, you can get around 11"665 H/s with a RTX 2080 Ti (source)

Add switch -w 4 to your command, it will speed up things.

How big is your wordlist.txt ?

Thanks for the response. I added -w 4 and did nothing. Wordlist is tiny - only 7 rows. Rules I've tried several, even just the base64 and still slow. So you're all saying it's not normal that it's this slow to work through a rule set ?
