It still depends on the password.

I've changed my Tumblr password after this just in case, but it was some approximately hundred character random password generated by Lastpass before that.

So let's say half the ASCII range, which gives us this number of possible passwords:

    (2^7/2)^100
    41495155688809929585124078636911611510124462322424368999956573296906\
    52811412908146399707048947103794288197886611300789182395151075411775\
    307886874834113963687061181803401509523685376.00000000000000000000
I'm pretty sure even if it's just stored as single-iteration sha1() cracking it would take until the heat death of the universe.

That's a fair point, but I do not believe password managers are currently the norm for a userbase like tumblrs.

Still, the hash time for a SHA1 is fairly insignificant at this point.
