Yup, but also depends how many bots you have working on that and how it is distributed like you said. It isnt that complex as you mentioned. It sure is tricky but not next to impossible as it seems.
That reminds me in a research project going on here, in one part of the program one of the programmers used BubbleSort (which has Complexity Order of N^2) and the sorting algorithm had been running for 1 hr. There were about 17 million files to be sorted and he didnt think about BIG O (also it is easiest to write bubblesort in short time), i guess in real life we never worry about order that much. After coming back looked at the code and calculated that in this rate it would take 30 yrs for it to be sortedThe cracking rate of 1 trillion passwords per second in the last column is definitely science fiction, but it can be accomplished in 10-15 years by using hundreds of supercomputers for distributed password cracking
We quickly changed it to quicksort and it was sorted in 30 sec
