Comment (by mattheweppelsheimer):

 +1 to addressing this. I was about to open a ticket for it. Glad you beat
 me to it, @BevanR. I routinely generate 200+ character length passwords
 and experience the same issue.

 If an argument needs to be made for prioritizing this, then: I see it as a
 UX problem deterring good security habits. It is not unlike if we were
 arbitrarily limiting password lengths. Speeding up the strength checking
 for arbitrarily long passwords will enable users to have better security
 habits. All power to those of you competent to fix it.
