I was planning on buying a new CPU for my file server. Is it any benefit in having many cores by just looking at the disk encryption part? I mean: would dd if=/dev/mapper/encrypted of=/dev/null run almost twice the speed on a CPU with similar core speed? would running two concurrent dd if=/dev/mapper/encrypted of=/dev/null run almost twice the speed as on a single core machine with similar core speed? Of course I'm having the aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 cipher in mind.
