This is actually an advantage. With other cracking modes, when JtR
terminates but you want it to try harder, you have to spend your time on
configuring things differently (e.g., define more wordlist rules).
The important thing is that the order in which "incremental" mode tries
its candidate passwords is very reasonable (despite of it being capable
of trying all possible character combinations), as evidenced by your
results that show both wordlist with rules and "incremental" mode crack
comparable numbers of passwords in comparable time.
