Just for comparisons - I'm using encFS and I do notice a performance
drop when doing disk writes.  I've also managed to totally deadlock my
system a few times, presumably from doing too many disk-related things
at once.  Bleh.  But I expect that I'm rather unique in how hard I
push things and how broken my setup has become.

However, I'm quite pleased overall.

Are you encrypting everything or just the user files?

What about the swap?
