That's definitely a problem. I currently see three simple workarounds that might be interesting for you (I might play around with them, too):

  1. Turn off the plugin when the user adds new characters as soon as a minimum "goodness"/"hardness" of the entered password is reached. This might often be the case with fewer (let's say roughly 15) characters.
  2. Turn off specific features of Password Score (e.g. remove specific dictionaries or the keyboard feature which may cause the JavaScipt to be quite slow).
  3. A combination of 1. and 2.

Will come back as soon as I have time to play around myself.
