Comment (by clwill):

 My point is that equation has two sides to it. Both sides should be
 addressed. There are many approaches, but if you only were to drop it to
 10guesses/sec you cut the problem by two orders of magnitude.

 Focusing only on one side of the equation, and the one that WP has the
 least control over (user behavior) is myopic.
