I actually do not use ecryptfs here, but OTOH I have BTRFS over LUKS/LVM.

But I've been using pretty *anything over LUKS/LVM for years, and I've
never notice it cause any (noticeable to the point of becoming annoying)
system slowdown, whatever tasks I may have processed in such setups
(including servers, big databases, compilations, NAS, etc...)

So I doubt that the encryption is involved here... At least not very
heavily involved. But I may ask my son if he volunteers to test the same
on his unencrypted BTRFS netbook...

As far as I understood, this option won't work unless I have a 3.7+
kernel...

BTW, what is the effect of "nocow" with respect to snapshots ? I would
assume that then, snapshots contain the current data ?

Kind regards.
