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
