> Making your passphrase twice harder to crack is nice.. but whats 15 days instead of 7? Making your passphrase 10000x harder to crack would also be nice

You mean like doing 10000x iterations of md5? Btw, it's not even 15 days instead of 7 any more. You need to measure it purely in money. EC2 cost is nodes * time, so if you need to double the time it is just doubling the cost.
