Please consider using multiple rounds of AES256 encryption for the wallet (bitcoin-qt style) until you meet a given time,

You mean multiple rounds of password hashing to generate the AES key

Repeatedly doing AES does nothing, as AES is designed to be fast and  it is implemented at hardware, like in Intel CPUs



No, I actually thought of AES256-CBC:

Wallet encryption uses AES-256-CBC to encrypt only the private keys that are held in a wallet. The keys are encrypted with a master key which is entirely random. This master key is then encrypted with AES-256-CBC with a key derived from the passphrase using SHA512 and OpenSSL's EVP_BytesToKey and a dynamic number of rounds determined by the speed of the machine which does the initial encryption (and is updated based on the speed of a computer which does a subsequent passphrase change).
