Do most people do compiling? Or heavy-duty I/O for that matter? I think
that if we would right click and just say "disable encryption on this
directory" that would be enough.
That might be fine for a home user but in a corporate environment the user
does not necessarily get to say something should not be encrypted "because
it's inconvenient and slows down my builds". If it were up to the users,
I'm pretty sure *nobody* here (where I work) would bother encrypting their
systems at all simpy because it's so much more convient not to.
