The beauty of ecryptfs is that I can encrypt one dir - not whole file

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.
I'm aware of this, but I'm not so paranoid :)
On a multi-user system one might be worried about some threats from other users that might be mitigated by encrypting directories.Performance-
wise it's not IMHO noticeable.
That was the use case when I started to use ecryptfs 4.5 years ago. Currently I can use full disc encryption for my data.
