If you're using only numbers in your iteration that would still be pretty trivial to crack. The issue isn't one of "guessing" passwords, it's when lists of hashed passwords are compromised and are reversed using brute force. It takes a while but computing power is becoming very very cheap (GPUs are surprisingly cheap for their ability to deal with the sort of calculations needed to reverse hashed passwords).
