Eh, whatever key derivation algorithm you are using is running in a browser, and isn't throwing any long-running JS exceptions. And I didn't see my browser block. So it can't be that expensive.

From an academic viewpoint, it's not really strong encryption if your AES key is derived from a password. Your key space is limited to ASCII characters, and 99% of users will not choose a strong password. So from my perspective, if you sent me a DB dump, I could read almost everything.
