[keycloak-user] What is the effect on performance in changing the number of Hashing Iterations for the password.

What is the true effect on performance in terms of the number of Hashing Iterations that can be configured for Keycloak?   There is of course a diminishing return in terms of security with more and more iterations, but that of course needs to be offset against the CPU power required to perform those iterations for each login.

So is there any performance analysis of the different number of iterations and its effect on the capacity to handle users?

Thank you.
