Not sure about oclHashcat, but with John the Ripper, GPU formats usually
require a much larger number of password candidates to achieve their
max. speed.
If you have to test several small attacks (word lists / patterns)
against a huge number of password hashes, or with john's --single mode,
the CPU format may often be the better choice, even if the GPU format
reports a much better c/s rate.
