It is slower but on recent systems it shouldn't not be bottleneck
(even with fast storage).
I really prefer security to performance here.
But anyway, there is now benchmark command to test it.
An example (on my 3 year old Thinkpad x201 notebook with AES-NI):
# Tests are approximate using memory only (no storage IO).
# Algorithm | Key | Encryption | Decryption
aes-cbc 128b 789.0 MiB/s 1899.0 MiB/s
aes-cbc 256b 595.0 MiB/s 1445.0 MiB/s
aes-xts 256b 572.0 MiB/s 571.4 MiB/s
aes-xts 512b 465.0 MiB/s 467.0 MiB/s
(I think XTS got some more optimization in recent kernel, this is from 3.6.)
You can try it yourself, just run "cryptsetup benchmark" with 1.6.0-rc1,
perhaps we will need some new FAQ entry here.
