cracking mode on my laptop on argon2d showed that at the beginning
speed is the same to this showed during computing gws, after some time
I am getting speed closest to showed during --test but it's not
exactly the same.

I don't have big differences with argon2i on my laptop

on super:

cracking run shows

Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status

so speeds reported by main --test are good
