Description
It would be great if there was an option to give consistent machine readable JSON benchmark output. Currently, benchmark output uses a non-standard text format and varies with system configuration which makes it hard to parse.
This would make it easier to aggregate data from benchmarks programmatically, which could be leveraged to make comparing hashcat GPU performance easier.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing where hashcat assembles its current benchmark text output, then define the JSON output boundary and verify that it remains consistent across system configurations and can be aggregated for GPU performance comparisons.
