Well if you can code just make a program yourself.
Just check bitcoin wiki about how a bitcoin address is generated and code it.

Multibit generates many adresses in a short time, but i don't know if that really helps you...

I have an existing electrum wallet.
I would like to pre-generate a lot of BTC addresses for an online store. How can I do this without running bitcoind, which takes up a lot of CPU resources? I don't want to use a tool like PyWallet or "Bitcoin Address Helper" (or whatever it's called). I want to do this programatically so that I can eventually automate it.
(E.g. there will be an existing queue of, say 500 BTC receive addresses, and when it gets down to 100, my system will auto-generate the needed 400 in order to get the queue back up to 500 addresses again).
Is this possible without running my own instance of bitcoind?
