lower gpu util in linux

[hoze]

depends on a number of factors. algorithm, attack mode, keyspace, -n and --gpu-loops values...

and in windows you're probably using your graphics card to drive your display. not sure if you're doing the same in linux, or if your linux box is headless. but there's probably more initial load in windows none the less.

Yes, I use for drive display in windows, but in linux too. The commands are the same for linux and windows.

Here is log from win 7:

Later I will post log from linux too.
