As noted in the OP, it takes far, far less than one second to hash one password using standard algorithms.

Well, the argument was that user-imperceptible hash times should be sufficient for all passwords. I was trying to make the case that even the class of extremely weak passwords can be protected with perceptible hash times.

So really I think you were demonstrating my point :)
