I think you're getting confused between encryption and authentication. Under 4.1 there were 3 options, all were default off: Server Authentication Downstream Encryption (i.e. graphics data) Upstream Encryption (i.e. keyboard/mouse data)
4.2 added Client Authentication (default enabled) Neither of the authentication modes adds overhead to the running session, and both add very little overhead to session initialization. We've been running with both authentications and upstream encryption only since it has no noticeable affect on performance (keyboard/mouse data is very little when compared with graphics data). If I'm reading what you wrote correctly, the slowdown can be attributed entirely to the encryption since you did not have downstream encryption enabled in your 4.1 install, but enabled it for your 4.2 install, which would yield the expected results. Enabling it under 4.1 should yield the same performance degradation. (Just trying to understand if this is the case, or if encryption enabled on 4.2 is slower than encryption enabled on 4.1.)
