Hi, we are using luks/dmycrypt to encrypt our pgdata volumes. On some standby/replication machines we see load peaks up to 15x of the primary server. If we remove the dmcrypt/luks and run it on a non-encrypted device this does not happen. We have tried to analyze this but could not find where the load comes from. Using atop, pg_top we do not see any waits, not on cpu and not on I/O, just the higher load. We see this on KVM hosts and also on Hardware (HDD, SSD, RAID/Non-RAID) and also tried to set different powerprofiles in the BIOS. Do you have any idea here? I am happy to get any information you need to analyze this problem.
