Jan 12, 2018 at 17:08 comment added Royce Williams Ah, good to know. Might want to update the original question with that information. The "too little work" objection is related to fast hashes, and it sounds like you're dealing with a slow hash, so I suspect this would actually still work. Since it's easy to implement, you might give it a try and report back how it performs.
