So... does anybody know how long it takes to hack an ssh key given
identity and identity.pub?  Because, if I have your machine, I have
these... it's just a matter of unlocking your passphrase.  (And not
even that, if you're running ssh-agent and I can get to that...)

Very long time. It can be solved using the Chineese television problem. If I
recall correctly, it will take a few hundred years provided you did have
Chineese television. :)
