This does not realy matter here since using a usb stick gives double the performance. The encryption overhead is not much of an issue these days unless you run on a sparc, m68k or another system with 2 digit MHz speed. Now if a dmesg would have been included we would know more. I blame it on the disk or actually missing UDMA. -- :wq Claudio
