The most simple benchmark is dd: unlock the LUKS layer on your HDD. then
first read from the HDD directly and then from the LUKS device:

dd if=<path/to/raw/HDD> of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
dd if=<path/to/cryptdevice> of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000

It will tell you the transfer rate in MB/s.

Did you ever tell us the exact CPU you have in there? All I can remember is
it has 4 cores. And some AMD processor with a II in its name, but that was
you main rig, right?
