Subject: stacking 3 rules with john ?

I am cracking NTLM passwords. I have roughly 90 million unfound 
passwords in my password file.

Currently, I am applying 2 rules to a dictionary with john.

This is the command line I am using:

john.exe --fork=26 --format=NT --verbosity=2 --no-log 
--wordlist=<a_big_wordlist> --rules=by-score --rules-stack=best-by-score 
--dupe=0 <a_big_password_file>

I have been running this for about 8 months, and it has slowed down 
quite a bit (which I expected).

I was wondering if it would be possible to stack up the rules, applying 
3 of them to my big wordlist?

thanks,
jeff
