I remember LRW from Clemen's tries to push it in the mainline linux kernel and the problems he had. Now that LRW is in the kernel, I have a question regarding it's implementation: As far as I know, LRW can be parallelized and so make use of more CPU cores, in contrast with CBC, which can only use one CPU. Is this correct for the current implementation?
