Hashcat says the CPU is 100%, but top and Activity Monitor disagree.  According to description of -w 3, the computer should be nigh unusable, but I can't even tell it's doing anything.  

The GPU column for the process is close to 100%, so maybe that's what hashcat is reading

Like mentioned above, Activity Monitor relyies on CPU, not GPU. You can ser the GPU time though. Tools like Asitop can show you the GPU usage, power, etc.

Like in my example here, 100% GPU utilization.
