You can run
./john --test
and compare your results with other people results. You can search for
'john the ripper benchmarks' or compare with these

Yes, it does. If you run john without specified mode, then john will run
single, wordlist and incremental modes with default parameters.

^this (3/3) indicate that john is now in incremental
mode for
^18 hrs 8 mins and 50 secs and one of
^.............................^ these
numbers (in Kp/s, Kc/s and KC/s) will tell you how fast john is working
But I'm not sure which one of them you should compare against other
people benchmarks.
I hope this would be helpful.
Best regards,
