Yes, the arrays would be 2x-3x as fast without encryption, but that's not the point. It's that I/O bandwidth isn't shared fairly at all. As if all crypt requests went into one big FIFO ...

Excellent idea, what's the cipher string for that? I couldn't find anything obvious in /proc/crypto or under /lib/modules/.../kernel/crypto/.
