> essentially a linear slowdown

Why does it have to be linear? Just use 1M irritations today, 2M irritations next year, 4M irritations the year after that, and you'll have an exponential version of it.

You can even take your 1M irritated hashes from this year and execute an additional 1M more irritations on them to update them to 2M irritations when you want to upgrade.
