This is not a > pro benchmark so be warned :) Hi everyone, I performed the tests again (twice for each test) but this time I formatted the LUKS partition using: cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-xts-plain -s 256 -h ripemd160 /dev/sdd1 ...so that I was more _similar_ to the TrueCrypt setup. Also, between each test I run: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches Here are the new results for the same payload (143 GB of data): ### TRUECRYPT #### 1st round: real 105m39.547s user 28m17.667s sys 42m25.300s 2nd round: real 105m40.271s user 28m21.893s sys 42m19.672s ### LUKS ### 1st round: real 104m33.901s user 27m41.362s sys 41m0.339s 2nd round: real 104m44.913s user 27m42.364s sys 40m57.655s Now as you may see, LUKS is roughly around 1 minute ahead (sytem-time) compared to TrueCrypt. It appears the change in cipher operation mode definitely affected the results (thing I should have done on the first place). Cheers and thank your for the feedback!
