But I still think that there should be only few strong predefined combinations.

 I will go with only those mentioned in the benchmark as "supported options".

Why the users want to change default?
What's the real problem - cipher speed or they do not trust NIS and NSA or ...
they just want more knobs because more knobs means more security :-) ?


I currently do not allow options because i though defaults were good for everybody but people keep asking for
ability to change them.This post[1] is a good example of that They wished for more options but did not specify why.

About a week ago,somebody sent me a zuluCrypt source file and asked me to modify it to change hard coded defaults.They wanted different defaults but did not trust themselves to change the source file so they asked me to do it for them.
