18163	Use a faster password hasher in test_sqlite.py	Anssi Kääriäinen	nobody	"Currently Django uses `django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher` as the highest priority PASSWORD_HASHERS choice. This hasher is somewhat slow by design. The slowness results in 10% overhead on my machine compared to use of `MD5PasswordHasher`. The test is ./runtests.py --settings=test_sqlite.py, result is ~670s vs ~610s. On other databases the gained performance advantage is lost in the noise.

This is related to ticket #18157, which is about documenting the use of different default hasher in testing as an optimisation.

I noticed that the tests error out if the PASSWORD_HASHERS do not contain all of the inbuilt hashers. Is this something that needs fixing?"	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.auth	1.4	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
