I can not understand it. It > should be as big as CBC. I don't know why the ECB variant is so slow compared to the other variants. But it is so even for the current x86-64 version. See the above values for "x86-64 (old)". I setup dm-crypt for this test like this: # cryptsetup -c aes-ecb-plain -d /dev/urandom create cfs /dev/loop0 What where the numbers you measured in your tests while developing the x86-64 version?
