With limited hardware resources (compared to those of an attacker), you
can't increase the cost of computing a single hash in a way that makes
the hashes hard to attack on more powerful hardware.
So, using a random salt and a reasonable salt size is probably the best
you can do. Not using a salt definitely is a bad idea here.
