Run your first test (2 cores) for 20 minutes. 2. Run your second test (4 cores) for 10 minutes. 3. Run your third test (8 cores) for 5 minutes. and you could also throw in: 4. Run a non-mpi john for 40 minutes. Now compare the results (as in number of passwords cracked). This will be a better indicator of how john-mpi scales.
