As to the traffic, yes, it will generate more traffic as long as the 
actual password is shorter than the hash (32 bytes for MD5, 40 bytes for 
SHA1). But considering only a 5 byte long password I would say the extra 
traffic of 27-35 bytes is worth the added security (some HTTP headers 
often take more).
