We CAN specify the iteration count:
> -C itercountk
> Runs hashed passphrase through itercountk thousand iterations of AES-256 before using it for data encryption. This consumes lots of CPU cycles at program start time but not there‐ after. In combination with passphrase seed this slows down dictionary attacks. Iteration is not done in multi-key mode.
No recommendations what the count should be, no min count enforced, and specifying the iteration count is not default.
