There may be a performance hit in some situations, but not on modern or decent computers with decent encryption. I have two points to back this up: I have a Core2 laptop running windows. I benchmarked it before enabling bitlocker, and again after enabling bitlocker. I found the performance was equal in both situations, but when bitlocker was enabled, I had 30-35% increase cpu load. In later processors (i7 for example) they support the AES instruction set, which reduces this by 1-2 orders of magnitude, which means there is no significant performance difference. > The more likely scenario will be that people > in corporate situations will be forced to > use it. And then you won't like it. I deploy bitlocker and filevault to all my users, and they don't notice it or care. Except some - Some people demand it explicitly because they are concerned about their data being stolen. Nobody is opposed to it. Not a single person. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
