The test is just a benchmark. Your mileage may vary. You should notice a
gradual decrease in speed as your incremental cracking works it way up to
more complex passwords. I put together my own Perl-based system to
distribute cracking with a web interface for monitoring the progress. Using
MRTG to graph the rate will show you a nice downward curve. If you are
trying all characters you may want to reconsider based on the system from
which the password was taken.
