Slowing brute force attack

[David Garamond]

Is there an option for mysqld to add a sleep() call after each failed 
connection request, before reporting to the client (to slow down brute 
force attack)? I glanced at the manual and there doesn't seem to be one.

If there isn't, would it be a good idea? If yes, I could probably submit 
a patch. This feature should be trivial to implement, I think.
