i used 
hashcat -m 2500 example.hccapx -a 7 Cat goodlist.dict 

then the speed turned down from 40 Kh/s to 300 h/s 

why is that ??!! 
the -a 6 works fine but this one doesn't !!
i have added the word Cat to the start of every line at the dict and tried it with -a 0 and there is no prob wit it !!
Hashcat is a tool not a single-click solution. If you use it incorrectly, it will produce incorrect results. You maybe want to understand this first before you continue: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...full_speed

The --slow-candidates will make your attack faster, but please inform yourself better about this tool first.

--slow-candidates gives me Invalid attack mode (-a) value specified in slow-candidates mode.
but it works using the -a 0 ........
i have read the wiki many times ... i didn't find any thing about this
Yes, -a 6 and -a 7 are not supported by -S atm, but that's not the point.

You can find the solution here: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...full_speed

So what you'd need to do is this:
