Just a data point: my small file server at home is based on an Atom D510
(dual core, 2.66GHz) without any hardware acceleration for AES. It
manages to do about 30 MByte/s throughput from LUKS-on-LVM-on-DM-RAID
over NFS. Any decent laptop/desktop CPU from the past five years can
probably saturate USB2, GBit ethernet and possibly even USB3 with this
configuration.
My wife even worked with eCryptFS for $HOME on her Atom-based netbook
for several years. The system wasn't noticeably slower than it was from
the start.
