Hey @bencarter78! Yeah this is an awesome improvement; I'm not going to merge the PR because I want to keep the commit history clean and matching the lessons, but thanks for bringing it up either way 👍
You can get similar or better improvements by just using a pre-hashed password as well, which is what Laravel is doing by default now:

Funnily enough I suggested this in a PR a year and a half ago, but we made the mistake of switching to a static variable thinking the performance implications would be the same (they weren't 😜):

I've been using this for a while but I also saw Taylor tweet about this recently. For me, on a new iMac running the entire test suite, it gives me about a 40% speed increase.
