Hi ReekoD ,

Did you try threads parameter? -threads 8 Here you can replace 8 with number of threads available on your processor.

You can determine processors by following link or which ever applicable on your os.

I have personally been using this for past 10 days to crack about 1 million combinations .[80% achieved yet ]

Laptop being used Dell , Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40 GHz [12gb memory ]

Code can be optimized , As it seems there about 6 direct external libs being used in here. Someone expert with knowledge can write minimal code to speed things up, even a microsecond makes a huge difference.

PS: @lexansoft thank you for wonderful work !
