Well, I guess it's only 'not printing' generated candidates? Does it
really speed up the process, since generating a password candidate is
more costly than printing it?
Concretely, is --markov --stdout --external=Parallel with node 1/100,
100 times faster than with node 1/1?

My issue is that I can't get the whole output because it is too costly
for me to gather them due to UNIX pipe. I would like to my
john --stdout --markov --sample=100 | my_sublime_post-process
be somewhat 100 times faster than
john --stdout --markov --sample=1 | my_sublime_post-process
Your solution requires to get the whole output of john and then
post-process it, but I can't find a satisfiable way to get its whole
output (since john is really fast to generate candidates).
