No, I didn't expect that and it's not a reasonable expectation. magnum
has just illustrated that with an example.
Let's troubleshoot the low GPU time utilization:

Oh, OK. So, as seen per the log file you sent you have a young session
that is still frequently switching between incremental mode's lengths,
trying to test candidate passwords in a more optimal order. To achieve
a steady speed in terms of candidate passwords tested per second, and
full GPU utilization, you'll need to either let this session run for
much longer or instead run attacks that are a better fit for in those
terms right away - such as locking incremental mode to a specific length
(with "--min-length" and "--max-length") or running a large wordlist.
Please try that and let us know of the results.

This passphrase is unlikely to be cracked against that file type soon,
unless you focus the attack.

Actually, I meant output seen on the terminal - not the log file - but
this works, too. It's missing the reported speeds, though.
