Public bug reported:

I have my entire hard disk encrypted using dm-crypt (except a small boot
partition).  The encrypted partition is then used as a pv for LVM and
then used for lvs.

When performing a write of any size larger than about 50MB, top
indicates that kcryptd is taking up more cpu than anything else.  With
writes upwards in size of 250MB, my cpu gets saturated.  In combination
with rsync, this results in my computer being only barely usable until
rsync finishes.

This did _not_ happen until I upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty.
