For perspective, one teacup holds 150ml of liquid. Nestle will be using 14 535 981 teacups of water. Is this a relevant comparison? Just as much so as comparing a local watershed-impacting factory to a state's usage.

Another slightly kludgey option would be to generate a second salt for each user, then 2 hash each hashed password in your database. When the user logs in, you 4 hash with the original salt and 2 hash with the new one each time. Interesting
