Group output. Output from each jobs is grouped together and is only
printed when the command is finished. stderr (standard error) first
followed by stdout (standard output). This takes some CPU time. In
rare situations GNU Parallel takes up lots of CPU time and if it is
acceptable that the output from different commands are mixed together,
then disabling grouping with B<-u> can speedup GNU Parallel by a
factor of 10.
