Realistically speaking, the hash would be your smallest problem if you're being DDoSed.
Bcrypt for example would require at most ~6.4Mb of memory to do the hash, and more realistically only the 100k plus some constant. And modern CPUs are pretty efficient at doing the encryption steps, meaning little additional load for encrypting a larger value.
