I don't really know but if I had to make a guess, cpu doesn't even come close to gpu's horsepower so the added benefits is not close to the added negativity which would be rendering your pc useless and unusable for other normal use.

i guess it's more about keeping cpu and gpu threads synced. Syncing both produces an overhead, thus slowing down the overall process.

yep, thats it. plus, if you really want it, you can run oclHashcat and hashcat in parallel.
