For the 35-minute long mask file, there probably isn't a way to speed it up much but it may help to use `-S` as Hashcat isn't very good at fixed prefixes. For the 10,000 mask file, the only thing you can do is split the mask file up and run each instance on a separate GPU but there's not much you can do with just a single GPU. Older versions of Hashcat were significantly faster at autotune but I worry about that introducing bugs, so probably best not to backdate
