Sai,

   I see where you're coming from, but what are the most recent statistics
on the effectiveness of hash cracking?  Isn't it something like 70% of the
passwords in the field can be cracked with a minimal amount of brute
forcing?



70% ?

Plain MD5 perhaps, but I don't think salted, or sha1, etc, have anywhere
near such high success rates.
