On my laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2367M CPU @ 1.40GHz):
$ time ( for i in `seq 1 100`; do ssh-keygen -t rsa -f
/home/fd/.ssh/id_rsa_000-test$i -P test$i -N test$i > /dev/null ; done )
real 0m31.321s
user 0m30.490s
sys 0m0.532s
$ time ( for i in `seq 101 1100`; do ssh-keygen -t rsa -f
/home/fd/.ssh/id_rsa_000-test$i -P test$i -N test$i > /dev/null ; done )
real 4m51.946s
user 4m44.037s
sys 0m5.550s
(BTW: ssh-keygen requires a minimum password length of 5. But I don't
know if this is true for all versions.)
That means about 0.3 seconds per key, or almost 3.5 days for 1 million keys.
CPU doesn't seem to be the bottleneck.
More probably, the system is running out of entropy.
john cracked all 1100 passwords immediately in single mode after
converting them using
$ ./sshng2john.py /home/fd/.ssh/id_rsa_000-test*[0-9] > sshng-test
