+1

I can't vote, but I would urge people to be careful with this.

While a high cost might make you *feel* good, the DoS problem is real, 
especially on older hardware - 10 is still fine today, 11 is a fair improvement 
against brute force guessing, 12 is just burning CPU cycles today, simply 
because the difference does not address the problem of commonly used passwords 
(like 123456, password1, monkey, etc).

Also, if you want to increase the cost yourself, on a system which blocks too 
many password attempts, you can do that easily - this is about the default, for 
people who are not customising it for their (shared/old) hardware.
