The 0% utilization is weird, and 800 p/s is low. How long have you been
running it for? Can you show the status line? My guess is it's still
in "single crack" mode (pass "1/3") where it isn't giving the GPU enough
work yet. If the RAR file's name isn't a good hint for use in candidate
passwords, you may skip that and use other cracking modes right away
(you'll need to request those explicitly).
As to comparison with cRARk, as I recall it benchmarks for password
length 5, and we do the same in our "--test" for consistency, but
performance is lower for higher lengths (with any tool):

I don't suggest you actually use mask mode when cracking, although you
may (good idea if you recall part of the password) - rather, this is how
we specify a length for the benchmarks above.
