It's been a while since I ran a cluster for mpi-john, but IIRC the incremental mode was much faster. Indeed, one MPI patch I tried years ago wouldn't do anything _but_ incremental mode.
Looking back at some benchmarks I still have the numbers for, I went from ~800k c/s DES on a single PPC970 (1.6GHz) core to over 4.8m c/s with two 970+ (2.0 GHz) and two 970s - a JS21 and a JS20. I don't know how accurate the benchmarking was, as I didn't audit the code, but was able to regularly exhaust the keyspace used by pwdump6 (LM?) in under 5 hours.
Please forgive any inaccuracies - it's been nearly a year.
