Bonnie is not a realistic load, ever. Therefore the numberis are really not useful. If one insists on getting an idea of what crypto can run then do: dd if=/dev/rsd2c of=/dev/null bs=1m count=100 Where rsd2c is the raw crypto disk.
At some point I will have another look to see if I can speed it up some more.
