  One of the valid techniques for password pre-processing is "none".
That doesn't mean that there isn't a technique, it means the technique
is to perform no pre-processing on the password (treat it as a raw
blob of bits).

  No there isn't, but it is doubtful the number will get very large.
The probability that more than n iterations is necessary will be
roughly (1-(r/2p))^n, where r is the order and p is the prime, and
that number rapidly approaches zero as n increases.

  Thank you for catching all of these.
