>
> In SecureWALCellCodec#EncryptedKvEncoder#write we get the IV for the entry
> from the secure RNG. This can be a heavyweight operation if not using an
> accelerated RNG. Consider something lighter weight. One option could be to
> create a random IV only once, store it in the header, and then increment it
> per cell. Correct decryption will depend on being able to correctly count
> entries even if skipping or rewinding.
