It turns out that on a multi-core machine a geli thread is started on
each core for each disk (4 cores, two disks):
and it is actually used when many transfers are done in parallel.
my core2duo saturates (both cores 100% load) at about 100MB/s disk I/O

Geli.
Geli is more secure when used with real-world passphrases, supports
hardware acceleration, and is faster, w
