That's too bad. Because if you do not use the latest machines (e.g. only 
1 GHz CPU), you get, with cheap hard disks, 42 MB/s without encryption 
but only 12 MB/s with aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 (using dm-crypt). Thus, 
encryption seriously sacrifies performance. If you could limit 
performance-sacrificing to data which is really important (say: /home or 
/etc, but not /usr or /bin), performance would suffer less. Encryption 
should be orthogonal to the volume|partition the data is stored on. So 
I'm looking forward to (transparent) file level encryption becoming 
usable. :-)
