comment How many possibilities can today's computers check (per second) in a SHA512 hash of a 50-byte-long random entry?
It will not be stored anywhere in the database. The password becomes: itself+salt (and saved by user.)

See edit at the bottom of my question. Thanks for making me realize that wasn't clear.

a) Thanks. b) "The purpose of a salt is not to make computing the hash slower" - True, but it is to make the number of possibilities larger, and so to create the table (or search for a possibility that will give that hash) - will take longer. 100M/s is slow compared to the 2^400 possibilities in the case I outlined.
