Should it still say crypto is experimental in caveats of bioctl.0?

Why is it better? Swap and buffers?

I read a mention of 4% faster but I trust blowfish above aes, though
I believe from marcos paper that the key would apply to less data with
bio on a large disk. Another thread says they found svnd to be faster
which is a shock to me. Twofish maybe?

A thread said recently that the man page should say you can use a
device as an image file and it seems to work fine but the examples
never seem to do it that way. Is there any issue with that?

I do get a fair increase in cpu usage for a disk at full speed disk with
vnd but it's acceptable. Have people already done cpu usage and
transfer speed comparisons to save me further tests.

Thanks, Kc
