Yes, it's fast enough for compatibility access of old disks. People
should switch to xts, if they want better speed.

It seems to be a problem with (unusual) large keyfiles.
Sampe keyfile generation: 

for dat in `seq 1 65`; do head -c "$x" /dev/urandom | \\
openssl enc -base64 -A ; echo ; done >keyfile

On my machine, $x greater than 90 results in different internal keys
for 'cat keyfile | cryptsetup ' and 'cryptsetup --key-file keyfile'. If
the key-file is even large, I get at least an error message. Sample
keyfile ( x=91 ) attached or at http://pastebin.com/PeLUZ5a4, if the
mailing list removes attachements.
