Here's a link to an interesting table that shows just how long (or short) it can take to crack passwords of various lengths: http://www.lockdown.co.uk/?pg=combi&s=articles.

Remember this when picking your next password!

Incidentally, it would take a supercomputer 83.5 days to crack my password; a dual-processor PC would take 23 years, and a low-end PC 22,875 years.

It's a really interesting list, if only because it displays a wonderful example of the asymptotic analysis of algorithms.
