What is the threat szenario?
If you are smart about parallelization and have access to custom hardware, couldn't you turn 5 days into 1 hour or less?
Yes, that's exactly the problem - there's nothing wrong with the encryption used, but it's IMHO incorrect to call it time-based when it's "work-based" and it just so happens that the specific computer doing the encryption works at a given speed.
I don't call my laptop's FDE time-based encryption just because I picked an encryption that takes it 10 seconds to decrypt the key.
