How exactly the storage stack looks like? Using underlying partition?
please paste lsblk output and cryptsetup luksDump
(you can remove slot info and hash, algorithm and payload offset
is important here)
Try to add oflag=direct to your dd command (for write) or iflag=direct
for read.
Yes, AES-NI should provide more than necessary performance.

Truecrypt by default use dm-crypt (if not switched off in config),
but internal benchmarks measure non-kernel services.

1MiB alignment is default for LUKS (and for LVM as well btw), depends
on version and if underlying partition is aligned.
Need info above to check.
