What's the concern with encrypting the whole filesystem?  It's better
for you because you leave significant personal information all over
the disk, eg in log files in /var/log, in /etc files.  Performance-
wise it's not IMHO noticeable.

On a multi-user system one might be worried about some threats from other users that might be mitigated by encrypting directories.
