My suggestion was not to make EVERYONE use encrypted ZFS with a
passphrase, only those who selected an encryption option within
Ubiquity.  (Perhaps my code was misunderstood as a implementation
suggestion instead of a proof of concept for developers.)  Having users
opt for encryption and password would leave ZFS in parity with other
filesystems installed within Ubiquity.  I understand the original idea
is to transparently force encryption on everyone but not bother them.
Not only is there a performance issue, but you could have some really
annoyed people if they ever needed to livecd/mount that filesystem and
discover the hidden encryption they have to figure out how to work
around.
