That's a fair question Matti! Encryption we have today, is just the home folder. If encryption of the entire drive is used, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the performance slows severely, that more ram is needed and that more SSD read/write cycles will be needed. This increases the wear and tear on SSD's, which have a finite lifetime AND more system files need to be in ram to help avoid excessive delays.
As far as actual numbers....I don't have them. But, a few tenths of a second can seem like an eternity when the user is sitting there waiting for the computer to respond to a keyboard command or when booting/shutting down.
