LUKS: How many iterations are enough?

The luksFormat command accepts iteration time as a parameter, not iterations. That obviously leads to quite different number of iterations depending on the hardware doing the encryption. However if I am protecting the same data on systems of vastly different performance, the security is as weak as the slowest machine. So I am curious, how many iterations (not iteration time) would be considered secure so I know what to aim for?
