why Hashcat v6.2.6 is slower than v4.1.0 (or 5.1.0)
#1
Why hashcat v6.2.6 is slower than v4.1.0 with same GPU? Here is my test result.

hashcat v4.1.0 result:

Code:
 
sudo ./hashcat64.bin -m 500 *********** -a 3 -1 ?l?u?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1 -w 3

OpenCL Platform #2: Intel(R) Corporation
========================================
* Device #9: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2678 v3 @ 2.50GHz, skipped.

Hashes: 1 digests; 1 unique digests, 1 unique salts
Bitmaps: 16 bits, 65536 entries, 0x0000ffff mask, 262144 bytes, 5/13 rotates

Applicable optimizers:
* Zero-Byte
* Single-Hash
* Single-Salt
* Brute-Force

Minimum password length supported by kernel: 0
Maximum password length supported by kernel: 256

ATTENTION! Pure (unoptimized) OpenCL kernels selected.
This enables cracking passwords and salts > length 32 but for the price of drastically reduced performance.
If you want to switch to optimized OpenCL kernels, append -O to your commandline.

Watchdog: Temperature abort trigger set to 90c

Optimizers applied:

* Brute-Force

ATTENTION! Pure (unoptimized) backend kernels selected.
Pure kernels can crack longer passwords, but drastically reduce performance.
If you want to switch to optimized kernels, append -O to your commandline.
See the above message to find out about the exact limits.

Watchdog: Temperature abort trigger set to 90c

Host memory required for this attack: 11714 MB

Cracking performance lower than expected?               

* Append -O to the commandline.
  This lowers the maximum supported password/salt length (usually down to 32).

* Append -S to the commandline.
  This has a drastic speed impact but can be better for specific attacks.
  Typical scenarios are a small wordlist but a large ruleset.

* Update your backend API runtime / driver the right way:

* Create more work items to make use of your parallelization power:

Do not tell me use optimized kernel, and i don't want to use -O parameter, i want to know the reason in pure kernel mode.
