hi guys

I have a 3ware 9650SE PCI-Express controller

8 Drives WDC 320GB
RAID5 2,1 TB
GPT partition table created with parted
XFS filesystem

bonnie++ results:

encrypted with cryptsetup-luks with aes_64 blowfish serpent sha256:

write 50MB/S 
rewrite 30MB/S 
read 50MB/S

unencrypted:

write 180MB/S 
rewrite 90MB/S 
read 450MB/S

so, W T F ? :(

using kernel 2.6.20 and 2.6.20-gentoo-r2 2.6.17 .18  and 19 same
