Hi Forum

I have installed SL-5.3 x86_64 default installation/partitioning scheme in
my laptop... the only... call it "different" thing that I have done is an
LVM Luks encryption of my HDD ( It is a laptop, and I carry a lot of sensble
stuff in it... )  In know it is not "MIL-SPEC hard" as a pkcs #13 protocol (
Elliptic Curve cryptography over discrete fields ) but man...  I do not
carry warhead design plans, and sizing calculations with me...   :-)

Anyway...   Trying to dump the content of DVD data, 4.5 Gb of it into my
desktop took me about 70mn...  THIS IS NUTS...    Trying to do the same in
another install , unencrypted this time, in another machine ammounted to the
same...

DVD read is related to dvd disk speed. Have you done any testing of the io speed other than the DVD?


now, this IS an issue...   this laptop will be used in heavy number
crunching engineering applications...  meaning disk I/O operations in the GB
range ( Finite elements meshes, Genetic algorithm operations... massive data
transfers to put it simply )

Can this be solved... ?

I used (aaarrgghhhh !!! ) Ubuntu with this same lappy and this problem was
not there....

What can I do...?

You need to give more details. What filesystem? What specific hardware? What else did you do other than crypto. Note that crypto is going to be slow. Something has to do the cruyto. No magic done here.

Have you run iostat?  If so what does it show?
Have you run any other performance tool?
