It depends what your defending against and what your original password is.

If the purpose is to turn a short password into something more secure it is pointless. As tptacek is always saying; Sha1 is cheap. It is trivial to incorporate it into an attack :)

Your better off choosing a random long sentence as your password. Easier to remember and much more secure.
