absolutly not. for example if you limit the attack to --perm-min=8 and --perm-max=8 it will only use words of length 8. N! function of 8 = 40320. so it requires 40320 * number of words (with length 8) in your dictionary to finish. thats not to much. for example if you have a combination attack with a dictionary that holds "just" 80000 words in it it will take longer.
