I just found something odd though. Can anyone explain this?

$ ./john -stdout -w=sd.lst -ru=s >/dev/null
words: 62570773 time: 0:00:00:29 100.00% w/s: 2124K current: snip
$ diff -s file1 file2
Files file1 and file2 are identical
The speed to /dev/null is bad, the one to file is awful. It looks like
we're flushing too often but I can't find where, and there must also be
some other problem. And this does not seem to happen when cracking, only
